Matchday 38 in the J1 League sees table-toppers Kashima Antlers welcome 14th-placed Yokohama F. Marinos to the Mercari Stadium. Check out our prediction for this match.
Kashima Antlers are within touching distance of a record ninth J1 League title. It will also mark their first since 2016. They've amassed 73 points from 37 games and are one point ahead of the second-placed Kashiwa Reysol.
The Antlers come into this match off the back of a 1-0 away victory to Tokyo Verdy, extending their unbeaten league run to 14 games (W9, D5).
Toru Oniki's men have been a force to be reckoned with at the Mercari Stadium. Having navigated 18 games this season, 12 of those outings resulted in wins. Notably, they are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions.
Yokohama F. Marinos are 11 points ahead of the relegation zone and can not finish any higher than 13th place in the league standings after amassing 43 points.
The Marinos are riding a wave of momentum, having won four consecutive league games. Their success is built on a rock-solid defense with three clean sheets preserved during this period.
In their most recent match, they beat ten-man Cerezo Osaka 3-1 at home. They are on the road this time around, and it hasn't been a great showing with four losses in their last six outings.
