Kashiwa Reysol have the opportunity to go joint top in the Japanese topflight when they travel to Shimizu S-Pulse. This matchday 22 action finds Reysol in second place and S-Pulse sitting 12th. Read on for our prediction of the match.

S-Pulse have a superior goal difference, which could help them leap two places up, to 10th, if they win. To achieve that, they have to rise above their performances in the last three matches.

From a possible nine points, they won just two. They’ve lost more than they’ve won in their 21 matches, and there aren’t many guarantees when facing the second-placed side. S-Pulse are winless in the last four meetings with Kashiwa Reysol.

Kashiwa Reysol will be very disappointed at how they handled the last match. The hosts took the lead three times against Kyoto but lost it as many times. In the end, they shared spoils in a 3-3 draw.

Perhaps the one positive they carry into this match is their performance in attack. Reysol scored three goals in each of their last two league matches, but their general performance has been poor.

They come here with only one win in their last five league matches. However, Ricardo Rodriguez’s side has found a way on the road, winning five of their last 10 in the league.
