Heading to Japan now and hopefully I can break the losing streak. Kashima is one of the powerhouses of Japan and Asian football. They're taking on Shonan Bellmare who are a mid-table team at best.
Kashima's goal difference is +18 while Shonan's is -7. Kashima clears the odds at 57% while Shonan at 13% for a 44% difference. One patter i've been observing is selecting matches where one team always concedes first against another that always scores first. This is one of those games.
Shonan have been terrible at home and that's another factor going in Kashima's favor although in the Japanese league in general, Home sides win 45% of the games.
Pick: Kashima +0 @ 1.527
