Matchday 31 in the J1 League sees third-place Kashiwa Reysol hosting sixth-placed Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Continue reading for our prediction in this match between Sun King and Viola!
As we enter the home stretch of the 2025 J1 League season, title-contending Kashiwa currently trail leaders Kashima Antlers by three points with eight matches left on the fixture list.
The hosts come into this matchup following back-to-back draws in the league, the most recent of which ended 1-1 away against Cerezo. With their quarter-final victory in the J.League Cup, Kashiwa is now riding a five-game unbeaten run (W3, D2).
They’ll be seeking their sixth straight victory at the Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium after beating Yokohama 1-0 in the cup.
Hiroshima have to juggle a number of competitions as they try to keep up with the race for the top three in the league. They got off to a perfect start in the AFC Champions League Elite, winning 2-0 away from home against Melbourne in the league phase in their last match.
They’re also in the J.League Cup semi-finals after overcoming Shonan. Last year’s J1 League runners-up drew 1-1 at home against Kyoto in their last league appearance last Friday. Hiroshima have now lost just once in their last seven outings across all competitions (W4, D2).
