Kashiwa Reysol Team Overview
Kashiwa Reysol are holding on to a top-three place and remain motivated, though questions hang over the team's attacking consistency. Six wins from their last ten matches illustrates a tendency for results to fluctuate. Over that ten-game stretch they have averaged 1.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game, and in their last five matches they have lost three times. The attack has been reasonably productive, but the defence has frequently made errors even against less dangerous opponents. Cutting the gap to first place will require greater reliability across all areas of the pitch.
