Match preview

Our model makes Kashima slight favourites, giving them a 49% chance of winning against 21% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 2.04 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.7 goals in total (1.59 for Kyoto Sanga, 2.07 for Kashima), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Kyoto Sanga sit 14th on 13 points; Kashima are 6th on 23.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
