Kashima

Kashima’s seven‑goal home win and an average of seven goals per home game indicate a very strong attack, while they have conceded only one goal at home. Công An Nhân Dân have a limited sample, with no home record and an average of two goals conceded per game. Their recent away loss (4‑1) further shows defensive vulnerability. Given the disparity in attacking output and home advantage, Kashima are highly likely to at least draw, supporting a double‑chance away or draw selection. The league’s average of 2.38 goals per game also backs an over‑2.5 total.
