J-League Division 1 - Oita Trinita VS Shimizu S-Pulse

Oita Trinita Oita Trinita boss Tomohiro Katanosaka has a full complement, with no fitness worries to speak of before this match owing to a fully healthy squad available for selection. Kashima Antlers Antlers boss Naoki Soma has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Yasushi Endo (Hamstring Injury) and Taiki Yamada (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) can’t be considered. Verdict: Our assessment here is that Oita Trinita will need to push hard to put one past this Kashima Antlers team who we think will likely end up scoring and staying ahead. That’s why we have predicted a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for Kashima Antlers at the end of this game.
