Kashima Antlers will be looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Avispa Fukuoka for a Japanese J1 League fixture. 

The visitors remain the team to beat in the league, although the hosts have shown some good form on home soil. Both teams often serve up tight contests but the league leaders will be counting on their superior quality to help avoid defeat here. 

Avispa Fukuoka Form


Avispa Fukuoka are coming off a 2-1 defeat at Sanfrecce Hiroshima in their previous J1 League fixture. They had looked to be headed for a share of the spoils following Tomoya Miki's late equaliser but went on to concede an injury time winner. 

That result means Avispa Fukuoka are now winless in their last four matches in the league and remain seventh in the table. However, Kim Myung-Hwi's team are solid on home soil and have claimed three wins and two draws from their last five matches at the Best Denki Stadium.
 
Avispa Fukuoka are often disciplined and difficult to break down, a trait that has seen five of their last eight J1 League home matches produce under 1.5 goals in both halves. Five of their last seven league matches have also produced halftime draws.

Kashima Antlers Form


Kashima Antlers will be keen to tighten their grip on top spot, with Urawa Reds constantly breathing down their neck. Toru Oniki's team have done a good job of it so far and head into this clash with four straight wins, claiming a 1-0 victory over Machida Zelvia in their previous fixture.

That result highlights a recent defensive solidity for Kashima Antlers, who have kept clean sheets in their last three matches. That defensive discipline has seen six of their last nine league matches produce under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Kashima Antlers have been decent on their recent travels, winning their last two away matches. They have also produced halftime draws in two of their last three J1 League fixtures on the road. 

Head to Head


There has been little to separate Avispa Fukuoka and Kashima Antlers lately, with two wins each and three draws in the last seven meetings. The hosts claimed a 1-0 victory in the last home meeting while both teams played out a 0-0 draw in the most recent fixture back in October.

Verdict

Kashima Antlers have won their last four matches, two of which have come on the road and will be feeling confident heading into Tuesday’s clash. Although Avispa Fukuoka have done well at home lately, the visitors have the superior quality and can do enough to earn a win or draw here.
 
Both teams often serve up low-scoring outcomes, with six of their last seven fixtures producing over 1.5 goals in both halves. With five of the last six meetings also offering up halftime draws, Tuesday’s clash is expected to follow a similar pattern.
