Nagoya - Kashima Prediction, Picks and Tips
Last day in J1. We are going to Nagoya for this match between Nagoya Grampus (12 classified) and Kashima (3 classified). Nagoya is one of the most historic teams in Japan. Of the oldest and who managed to win a league in 2010 and some drinks years ago. As a curiosity a team that has trained Arsene Wenger before going to the Arsenal season in which they were among the first 3 and won a drink. Adjusting to the present this project is expired, after its descent in 2017 to J2 (for the first time in its history) he took the controls of the Kazama team, not without problems he got the promotion to first. Last season was already hard despite having good players and making a million-dollar investment on his return and finished very badly in position 15. This season started very well being top4 until day 15 it seemed that he could fight for great things but in the end more or less but it has ended just as bad as the previous season. It is a team that has good players like Jo Alves (former Corinthians) Gabriel Xavier, a high quality midfielder or his Australian goalkeeper Langerak former Stutgart and quarry Dortmund but the issue is that it has never functioned as a team together even in J2 when he got the promotion he did it for quality and stuck of his players. As I say, the project expired, that is why they threw Kazama a month or so already thinking about the next season and signed Ficadenti a more defensive profile coach who has trained FC Tokyo and Sagan Tosu.
The reasons for the pick are because Nagoya, despite its terrible end of the season, is already saved since although for points it does not seem like its opponents behind, they play between them and Nagoya even losing can not fall until the 16th place that would make him play the PO of descent. It is a team that has only won 2 games of its last 22 so we would have a minimum of zero in 20 of the last 22 games of Nagoya. Nagoya is the fifth team that fits the most goals and their matches average almost 3 goals. I have talked a lot about Kashima here. A team much bigger than Nagoya. It is one of the teams that practically every year win or rub title between leagues, champions and cups. This season he had it in his hand to win the league but he failed the last few days, in the key game he played at home against Frontale. It is true that he has not played so well in recent days but adding 1 point on Saturday strengthens his third position which gives him access to the Champions League. In addition, the team cannot let go because they still have a competition that they can win since they are in the Emperor's cup semi.
The h2h is also very interesting and demonstrates the great superiority of Kashima in recent years. Of their last 10 matches between the two of us, we have 7 Kashima wins, 1 draw and only 2 Nagoya wins. Good share that they offer us taking into account all the conditions, we look for victory without a Kashima tie playing their championship against a team with nothing at stake and that has disappointed this season a lot.
