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

After two consecutive wins at home, in last round Kashima lost on the road 1:4 against Yokohama. They not deserved for such high loss (expected goals scored for Yokohama 1.82, for Kashima 1.18), but still that was very painful and we can expect big reaction from the team. Coach Popovic said: "A team aiming to win the championship should not concede four goals."

Kashima want to bounce back on the good track as soon as possible. They are only 8 points behind the leader in league table and everyone in club dreaming big. About the title. Kashima signed another experienced player Kento, he said: "I want to win the championship with this club. "

Kashima is outstanding in front of their home crowd. In current season played 11 home matches and went unbeaten in all of them (7 wins in the process and only 9 goals conceded).

On the other hand, Tokyo after 3 consecutive losses, in last round recorded 2:0 win at home against Niigata, but that wasn't deserved result at all as they had expected goals scored value lower than opponents (only 0.52). In addition to that, Tokyo today have serious squad problems. They are without first goalkeeper Nozawa & best scorer Araki (both going to Olympic Games). Team best assistant Matsuki is about to leave the club and he will not play today as well. It's huge blow and should have very bad impact on guests performance.

In those circumstances Kashima looks like very good option to play.

我认为鹿岛在今天的比赛中很有可能得3分。

在主场取得两连胜后，鹿岛队在上一轮客场1:4负于横滨队。他们不应该输这么多球(横滨的预期进球是1.82，鹿岛的预期进球是1.18)，但这仍然是非常痛苦的，我们可以期待球队的巨大反应。教练波波维奇说:“一支以夺冠为目标的球队不应该丢四个球。”

鹿岛希望尽快回到良好的轨道上。他们在积分榜上只落后领头羊8分，俱乐部里的每个人都梦想成真。关于标题。鹿岛签下了另一名经验丰富的球员Kento，他说:“我想和这家俱乐部一起赢得冠军。”

鹿岛在他们的主场观众面前表现出色。本赛季11场主场比赛均保持不败(7胜9失)。

另一方面，东京在经历了3连败后，在上一轮主场2比0战胜了新泻队，但由于他们的预期进球值低于对手(仅为0.52)，这一结果完全不值得期待。除此之外，东京今天还有严重的阵容问题。他们没有第一门将野泽和最佳射手荒木(两人都参加了奥运会)。球队最佳助理松木即将离开俱乐部，他今天也不会上场。这是一个巨大的打击，应该会对客人的表现产生非常坏的影响。

在这种情况下，鹿岛是个不错的选择。
