The league leaders, Kashima Antlers, will protect their spot at the top when they host the Urawa Red Diamonds in Matchday 11 of the J1 League. The Perennial Winners have been doing just that all season, racking up 26 points in 10 games. Meanwhile, Urawa will be fighting for stability as they hover only three points from the last position. See our match prediction below.
To understand just how brilliant Kashima has been all season, the Antlers haven’t lost a single game by full-time all season. The Perennial Winners have won eight of ten games and lost two to Mito Hollyhock and Tokyo on penalties. The leaders recently beat Kawasaki, reclaiming their top spot after the Mito loss in the prior game.
Kashima obviously enters as the underdog, but they know too well about underestimating the Red Diamonds. Urawa did lose their only meeting this season, but just narrowly (3-2). And that defeat only marked two losses for the Reds in their last nine games against Kashima.
However, with the five-game losing streak Urawa is currently on, it’s hard to see them ending it against the best team this season in their own backyards.
