Editors’ Prediction
This is a tie where the suspense all but vanished after the first leg, but football rarely follows the script. Kashima, having suffered a heavy defeat away, will be determined to restore some pride in front of their home fans. The Antlers have won eight of their nine home matches in regulation this season and simply cannot allow themselves to lose twice in a row to such a fierce rival on their own turf. Kobe, holding a comfortable advantage, are expected to sit back and look to hit on the counterattack. The most likely scenario sees the visitors defending deep while the hosts push forward-though probably without reckless abandon. Our prediction: Kashima Antlers to win 2-0. The most well-founded pick here is both teams to score (no). That bet has landed in each of the last four head-to-head meetings between these sides.
