Tokyo Verdy desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 19 at 7:00 AM in the J1 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Kashima Antlers come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Tokyo Verdy travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Kashima Antlers here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Tokyo Verdy, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Tokyo Verdy won 0–2.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Kashima Antlers a slight edge, but Tokyo Verdy are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
