Kashima: Win
Past Predictions
Saturday, August 25th
Kawasaki - Gamba It's hard to call a late August match a "must
win," but this one comes close for Kawasaki. If they win, it
could set them on the path to much larger things. A draw or win for
Kawasaki.
Saturday, May 13
Kofu - Kawasaki Even away, even without Ganaha out on suspension,
Kawasaki will win.
Saturday, April 14
Niigata - Gamba Osaka Gamba was lucky to get a draw last weekend.
Away at Niigata, Gamba will lose.
Saturday, April 7
Urawa Reds - Jubilo Iwata Urawa is struggling but still way
too strong at home for Jubilo. A win.
Sunday, April 1
Yokohama FC - Nagoya Grampus Will the deep pockets of Toyota
bring a championship to Nagoya? Off to a great start, Nagoya will
win on the road against hapless Yokohama side.
Thursday, October 23
Kyoto - Iwata At home against a once great side. Three matches
left in the season. Last place Kyoto has to win to have any chance
of avoiding relegation. They won't. A win for Jubilo, though Kyoto
will outshoot and have most of ball possession.
Saturday, October 7
Urawa - Chiba Must win match for both teams. Urawa too good
at home.
Sunday, October 1
C-Osaka - Kashima A shocker: at home Cerezo to tie or win.
Saturday April 15th
Yokohama - Gamba The match of the week. In Yokohama, will
Gamba have the mettle to win? Gamba squeaked out a win at home last
week; Yokohama got squeaked by Omiya away. Gamba to win.
Saturday March 11
Kyoto - Kawasaki The first J1 home match for Kyoto in three
years. They will lose to a strong Kawasaki side.
Saturday, November 26
Gamba - JEF Even at home, Gamba to lose. Without Araujo
and Masashi Oguro still questionable--and a JEF that must win--it
will be a long day for Gamba.
Reds - Jubilo In front of their faithful, the Reds will
get 3 points.
Marinos - Cerezo Cerezo has to win. A very tough call. A
draw.
Sunday, November 20
Oita - Kashima A draw for struggling Kashima.
Cerezo - Frontale With Kawasaki forward Marcus out of the
match on suspension, a big win at home for Cerezo--even with its
own bevy of players out to suspension.
Saturday, October 29
Kyoto Purple Sanga - Hollyhock An easy win for Kyoto at home,
and the champagne corks will fly.
Sunday, October 16
JEF - Marinos Yokohama to continue its slide with
a loss to JEF.
Sunday, October 2
S-Pulse - Gamba Even without Sidiclei and Yasuhito Endo--both
out on suspension--Gamba to win easily, picking up three key points.
