Editor's Prediction
Kashima are clear favorites, but derbies often have their own rules. The visitors fight for every match and are unlikely to be easily defeated. Thus, a bet on Urawa Red Diamonds with a handicap of (+1.5) seems reasonable, though the odds are quite modest. Instead, we opt for under 2.5 goals total: in four of the last five head-to-heads at Kashima's ground, no more than two goals were scored.
