The new J-League Division 1 or Japanese League season has started and one of the first match day matches presents a match between Kashima Antlers who acted as host to host Oita Trinita at Kashima Soccer Stadium. Before facing this match Kashima Antlers played 2 test matches against Omiya Ardija and Mito Hollyhock and then played in the Asian Champions League against Australian team Newcaslte Jets.
Interestingly, from those 3 matches Kashima Antlers got the win result, the most interesting victory clearly in the last match. Against the Newcastle Jets, Kashima Antlers is actually expected to win but not with a very scoreless score, a 4-1 win was printed by 4 different players namely S. Ito, S. Yamamoto, Serginho and Serginho.
Obviously these 4 players will get more spotlight on this match while Oita Trinita only has 1 trial match before facing this fight even they drew 1-1 with Kagoshima. Oita Trinita was a promotion team this season, the visitors were actually an old team that was relegated in 2015 but after struggling for 3 years they were finally able to return.
Recorded in the last 10 meetings against Kashima Antlers, Oita Trinita was only able to get 1 draw while the remaining 9 were won by Kashima Antlers. Obviously the strength and quality of the team are very different, Kashima Antlers is one of the best teams in Japan that is highly seeded in every game. Most likely Oita Trinita will be defeated easily.
