Kashiwa Reysol is looking to put an end to their phenomenal campaign after return to the top-tier. Contrary to the hosts, Oita Trinita had a mediocre season, similar to the last year when they finished ninth. They are currently eleventh, ten points behind their eight-placed opponent. Both teams will be dealing with some absences. Takahashi, Nakamura, and Toshima for the home side, with Maeda, Kobayashi, and Kagawa missing for the guests.

Manager Nelsinho Baptista has done wonders with this squad. Kashiwa's attack has been the third-best in the league, led by Michael Olunga who is having the season of his life, scoring 26 goals so far. The hosts' defence has been solid, conceding 42 times. Historically, Kashiwa has always prevailed over Oita at home, winning in five out of their last six duels that took place here. The last time they welcomed Oita resulted in a persuasive 3-1 victory. Their streak of two victories was broken in their last match against the fifth-placed Nagoya, losing just by 0-1.

Oita is without a goal in its last three games. They are coming from a 0-2 home loss versus the league's last-placed club. Their offense has been awful, with Oita being the league's second-worst team in terms of scoring. Tomohiro Katanosaka's men kept a fine defense, being the fifth-best defending side. However, it is a doubt if Oita can stay stable against Kashiwa's vital style of play.

Everything points towards Kashiwa being the favorites by a large margin and nothing but a huge surprise will stop them from finding another victory in their amazing season. Good luck!

柏太阳神在重返顶级联赛后表现不错。与主队相反，大分三神本赛季表现平平，与去年获得第九名的情况类似。他们目前排名第11，比排名第8的对手落后10分。两支球队都将面临球员缺席的问题。主队高桥、中村和丰岛缺席，客队前田、小林和香川缺席。

主帅巴普蒂斯塔为球队创造了奇迹。柏太阳神的进攻在联赛中排名第三，由迈克尔•奥伦加领衔，奥伦加本赛季表现出色，迄今攻入26球。柏太阳神的防守很稳固，42次失球。从历史上看，柏太阳神总是在主场战胜大分，在最近六场在这里举行的比赛中赢了五场。上次他们面对大分的时候，他们以3比1赢得了这场有说服力的胜利。他们的两连胜在上一场对第五名的名古屋的比赛中被打破，以0-1的比分落败。

大分三神在过去的三场比赛中都没有进球。他们是在主场0-2输给了联盟最后一名的球队。他们的进攻很糟糕，大分是联盟得分倒数第二的球队。大分三神防守很好，是防守第五好的球队。然而，大分能否在柏太阳神的猛攻之下保持稳定还是个疑问。

所有的一切都指向柏太阳神成为最受欢迎的球队，我认为球队能够在主场取胜。好运！
