Machida Zelvia play host to Kashima Antlers at Machida GION Stadium on matchday 21 in the J1 League. Machida Zelvia are in ninth place in the league standings, while Kashima Antlers are in first place. Here's our match prediction. 

Machida Zelvia returns to league action in fine form. After the international break, they won two consecutive matches across all competitions. 

In their last league game, Zelvia secured a narrow 2-1 away victory against Shonan Bellmare on June 14. Thanks to this result, they were able to end a two-match winless run in the J1 League. 

Home form has been a cause for concern with their performance at Machida GION Stadium failing to meet expectations. At this venue, they have won just two of their last seven matches across all competitions (D1, L4).

Kashima Antlers have been the best-performing team in the J1 League this season. They lead at the top of the standings with a four-point cushion. 

The Antlers, after the international break, managed to register two consecutive wins across all competitions, including a commanding 4-0 home win over third-tier Thespa Gunma in the second round of the Emperor's Cup.

In their last league game, they managed to avoid defeat at home against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, settling for a 1-1 draw. They have recorded one defeat in their previous ten league games (W8, D1).

Our Machida Zelvia vs Kashima Antlers Prediction

Machida Zelvia, the favorites, is expected to struggle in this one. Their performance in this fixture has not been convincing. They have lost three of their last five encounters against Kashima Antlers, and this includes a two-match losing streak heading into this clash.

Kashima Antlers are underdogs in this clash, but it has to be said that they have some attacking quality to trouble Machida Zelvia's leaky defense. With Leo Ceara and Yuma Suzuki leading the attack, backing both teams to score should be a good idea here. Our Machida Zelvia v Kashima Antlers prediction: both teams to score.
