The hosts create plenty of chances, recording 16 shots and 6 shots on target per game, while their average xG stands at 1.79. Avispa Fukuoka have conceded just 1 goal in their two league matches this season, but across their last five appearances they have recorded 2 wins, a draw and 2 defeats, with a 7:5 goal difference. Kashima, meanwhile, have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 9 goals during that run, clearly indicating superior current attacking efficiency. The hosts concede an average of 1 goal at home, so the visitors may find the net, but Kashima’s advantage in the quality of chances created and their current form point towards a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS - No pick is primarily supported by the teams’ season-to-date results, with both sides recording 0% of matches featuring goals from both teams. Their BTTS rate over the last five matches is also only 40% each, meaning that in 60% of cases at least one team failed to score. Avispa have conceded an average of just 1.0 goal per match recently, while their average xG conceded stands at only 0.63, which could limit Kashima despite their average of 1.8 goals scored per game. The visitors generate an average of 1.08 xG, while Kashima allow 1.35 xG, so an Avispa goal is a realistic possibility, but not certain enough to outweigh the defensive signals. The league-wide BTTS rate of 65% supports a Goal/Goal outcome; however, the data from both teams points to a slightly higher probability that at least one of them will fail to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Kashima have averaged 1.8 goals and generated 1.59 xG across their last five matches, while Avispa have scored 1.4 goals per game over the same period. However, the hosts have conceded as many as 1.8 goals per match, with their average xG against standing at 1.35, giving the visitors a realistic route to goal. At least 3 goals were scored in 60% of the teams’ last five matches, but Avispa’s more solid defense, allowing an average of just 0.63 xG, reduces confidence in the Over 2.5 line. The strongest signal is therefore Over 1.5, as the projected total of 2.55 goals clearly exceeds the two-goal threshold, with less risk than higher goal lines.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Kashima have won 4 of their last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 points per game over this period, while Avispa have won only 40% of their matches. The hosts do not always set the pace from the outset: they led at the break in just 20% of their last five appearances and were level at half-time in 40%, which strengthens the case for a drawn first half. Avispa went into the break trailing in as many as 80% of this sample, averaging 0.4 goals scored and 0.8 conceded before half-time. After the interval, Kashima average 1.4 goals across their last five matches, while their opponents concede an average of 1.2, making a draw at half-time followed by a home win at full-time the most likely outcome.
