In my opinion Kashima has a really good chance to make 3 points in today's match.

Kashima has a huge mental advantage before this game. They won in 5 of the last 7 league matches against Shonan. Kashima home record against them is simply spectacular - 16 wins in last 18 home league matches and 7 consecutive wins (!!!).

Kashima in current season looked really good at home as they won 3 of their 4 home league matches and conceded only 2 goals in the process. Team came for this game full of confidence as they won in last round on the road against Gamba. Kashima conceded a goal, but in overall that was good performance at the back (only 0.58 expected goals conceded). I don't see easy goals for guests' as they came for this game without their best scorer Suzuki. It's huge blow, no doubt about that.

On the other hand, Kashima shouldn't have big problems with goalscoring. Shonan is without any stability or consistency at the back. They failed to keep clean sheet in all 11 matches in current season in all competitions. In 7 of the last 8 matches they conceded more than one goal. In previous round conceded 3 goals on the road against Sapporo.

Kashima scored more than one goal in last 3 consecutive matches. They have all the required tools to continue this streak also today and that should be simply enough to win this game.

我认为鹿岛在今天的比赛中很有可能得3分。

鹿岛在这场比赛前拥有巨大的心理优势。在过去的7场联赛中，他们赢了5场。鹿岛主场对他们的战绩简直是惊人——最近18场主场16胜，7连胜(!!)

鹿岛在本赛季的主场表现非常好，他们在4场主场比赛中赢了3场，只丢了2个球。球队充满信心地参加了这场比赛，因为他们在上一轮客场战胜了甘巴。鹿岛丢了一个球，但总的来说，这是后卫的好表现(只丢了0.58个预期进球)。我不认为客人们能轻松进球，因为他们没有最好的射手铃木。毫无疑问，这是一个巨大的打击。

另一方面，鹿岛在进球方面应该没有大问题。夏南在后防线上缺乏稳定性和稳定性。在本赛季的各项赛事中，他们未能在11场比赛中保持零封。在过去的8场比赛中，他们有7场丢了一个以上的球。在上一轮对札幌的比赛中丢了3个球。

鹿岛在最近3场比赛中进球超过1球。他们今天也拥有延续这一连胜势头所需的所有工具，这应该足以赢得这场比赛。
