Wednesday 004 Emperor Cup Kashima Antlers VS Nagasaki Nagas

Kashima Kama Antlers has continued the mature system of offense and defense this season, with an excellent home record, with 8 wins and 2 losses in the last 10 home games, with a winning rate of up to 80%. On the offensive end, the team relies on crosses and set pieces on the wing, and the forward core has contributed 11 goals in the last 10 games, with amazing efficiency. However, the potential for injury in the defense line has become its biggest weakness. The main left-back is absent for a long time, resulting in loopholes in the wing defense, and the recent increase in the league's defense error rate.

Nazaki Nagasaki Navigation is a newly promoted team, with a 5-4-1 defensive counterattack as the core, compressing the penalty area space and using the wing to advance quickly. The team's performance in the away game has been significantly ups and downs, but the offensive end relies on the speed of strikers such as Delgado to attack. Although the tough battle ability is doubtful, the accumulation of experience in the cup may become variables. In the last 6 games, Nagasaki Navigation has achieved an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws, and is in good shape.

Judging from the historical confrontation records, Kashima Antlers have an absolute advantage and have maintained a complete victory against Nagasaki in the last 5 times. However, the accidentality of the cup cannot be ignored. Nagasaki Navigation defeated strong enemies in the Japanese-Band knockout stage, showing strong fighting spirit and tactical execution.

Based on the recent status and historical confrontation records of the two teams, Kashima Antlers are more likely to take the initiative in this game, but the hidden dangers on the defense line may amplify the efficiency of Nagasaki's navigation. It is expected that Kashima Antlers will narrowly defeat Nagasaki Navigation with a score of 2-1 or 1-0 to advance to the next round with a score of 2-1 or 1-0.
