Shimizu S-Pulse host Kashima Antlers at IAI Stadium Nihondaira, Shizuoka on Sunday, Mar 21 at 12:00 PM in the J1 League.
Shimizu S-Pulse come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Kashima Antlers travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Shimizu S-Pulse face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Kashima Antlers have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shimizu S-Pulse a slight edge, but Kashima Antlers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
