Pick 1 :

Gameday in Kashima for the round 13 between Antlers & Consadole.

Antlers will be without Everaldo who left to Brazil since a moment. Nakama, Bueno, Hayashi & Nago.

Consadole should be without Takamine for this game. Ogashiwa & Koroki are injured.

Antlers is ranked 1 with 8 wins, 1 draw & 3 losses for 17 goals scored & 12 goals conceded.

Consadole is ranked 9 with 3 wins, 8 draws & 1 loss for 10 goals scored & 11 goals conceded.

Very good spot on Antlers who is doing a very good season, for this season we expected Kobe, Urawa & Antlers to make a stronger season than last year but the only one team who is confirming is Antlers.

They just lost heavily 3-0 against Hiroshima but they played on the road and they didn't play with the best 11 on that game so the loss wasn't a big surprise. Antlers this season is coached by Weiler, he isn't a top coach but until now things he is doing are working.

Consadole is really not a strong team, they don't have strong imports imo, they rely a lot on Fernandes who is an average player.

For me at home I expect a strong game by Antlers to bounce back directly with a win.

I expect 2-0 or 2-1.

Pick 2 :

Gameday in Geelon for the quarter final between Western United & Wellington Phoenix.

Western will be without Risdon & Diamanti.

Phoenix will be without Rufer & Lewis.

In RS, Western finished ranked 3 with 13 wins, 6 draws & 7 losses for 40 goals scored & 30 goals conceded.

Phoenix ranked 6 with 12 wins, 3 draws & 11 losses for 34 goals scored & 49 goals conceded.

Very good value here on Western who did a very good season and was much more consistant. Phoenix showed awful things defensively this season, even if they qualified in the PO they have the worst defense of the league.

Western didn't win on any of their last 3 games but they were not focus that much on the results as they knew that they were already in PO even if they tried to reach the rank 2.

They met three times this season and on the three times Phoenix won but clearly on the two first games, Western wasn't that good as now and on the last one they dominated but failed defensively.

Western should go with their 4-2-3-1 with Prijovic in front, Bayew, Wenzel-Halls, Wales, Krhin etc.

I expect 2-1 or 3-1.
