Kashima Antlers vs Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo Prediction & Betting Tips (6 July)

Kashima Antlers boast an impressive recent home record at the top table of the J1 League, securing 13 victories in 18 attempts, one of which was a success against these opponents back this year. Speaking of Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, they have struggled massively on the road of late, returning with zero points from 12 of their last 18 trips in the J1 League.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in 18 of the previous 18 Kashima Antlers home games in the league, with a defeat at the hands of Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo included in this sequence. Speaking of the visitors, 18 of their last 21 away matches have also served up no more than three goals, so it would come as a surprise to see anything different when the two sides go head-to-head.

Over the course of their last 15 J1 League matches, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Kashima Antlers.
