Kawasaki Frontale host Kashima with both sides on twelve points
Separated only by goal difference after seven matches, these two mid-table sides meet at the MUFG Stadium looking to break into the upper tier of the J1 League.
Kawasaki Frontale sit 7th in the table after a solid start to the campaign, picking up 12 points from their opening seven fixtures. They come into this clash following a 1-0 away win against Mito Hollyhock, a result that marked their third victory in five matches. Under long-term manager Toru Oniki, Frontale have recovered well from a narrow 2-1 defeat to league leaders Machida Zelvia earlier this month.
Kashima occupy 8th place, also on 12 points, but their early-season momentum has faltered recently. After a perfect start to the season, they have now suffered three defeats in their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 2-1 loss away at Vissel Kobe, which followed a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Urawa. They will be desperate to rediscover the clinical edge that saw them beat Tokyo Verdy and Avispa Fukuoka earlier in the term.
