Shonan Bellmare vs Kashima Antlers Prediction: An important home match for the Bellmares

Kashima Antlers will travel to Lemon Gas Stadium on Saturday as they continue to hunt for the J1 League. The home team will look to overturn a 2 straight loss after a big loss to Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.

SHONAN BELLMARE - Bellmare to avoid three consecutive losses

Shonan Bellmare has lost two matches in their past two matches, drawn two, and won one during their most recent five matches. Because of their terrible play recently, they have fallen all the way down to 15th place in the league table. When they play in their venue, they will be hoping to escape defeat at the hands of a formidable opponent. Head coach Yamaguchi will have no choice but to field his strongest team to avoid a defeat. They must perform at the highest possible level to prevent the Antlers from obtaining a victory.

KASHIMA ANTLERS - will the visiting team keep their league hope alive?

After two consecutive losses, the Antlers finally got a win at home in their last home game against Avispa Fukuoka. Thanks to early 10 minutes own goal by Hiratsuka before Everaldo sealed the match at 90+3 minutes. We therefore expect the visiting team to continue this form as they continue to put pressure on Yokohama who has lost form in their previous matches. However, the match is not expected to go the Antlers way easily as the Bellmare will look to get a revenge after a humilitating 5-1 defeat last week. Despite this, we hope Kashima Antlers will get their and take advantage of the struggling Bellmare.
