Kashiwa are dead last when it comes to away form . Surprisingly though, they did beat the mighty Nagoya Grampus 3-2 last weekend to reduce the gap between them and the team just outside the drop zone. A win in this game can see them escape the drop zone for the first time in months but they will have to face a very in form Hiroshima side who have been marvellous. Hiroshima have now gone nine games unbeaten and they enter this game with a four game winning streak. Time and time again, they prove their doubters wrong with their free scoring style of football. With Kashima's loss on Saturday, a win for the visitors will bring them within four points of the leaders entering the final phase of the campaign.

Kashiwa has the worst home record in the J league with only one win. Sanfreece may not be as productive away from home but they still are a team hard to beat.Go with the trend this match day with majority of the away sides going away with maximum points at a crucial stage of the season. Back Hiroshima to make it five in a row.

Pick: Sanfreece Hiroshima 2.35
