In my opinion Kobe have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Odds on Kobe +0.5 AH slashed down by 0.15 from opening odds on big Asian markets with the highest possible limits and I fully agree with this trend.

Kobe loves to play at this stadium, currently they have superb streak here as they didn't lost in 5 consecutive away matches against Kashima. Kobe also scored at least one goal in last 10 matches in a row at this stadium.

Both teams 3 days ago played Cup matches, both won their matches, but I believe Kobe have more freshness because they not used 9 first team players which played in last round match. On the other hand Kashima used half of the team and probably all of them will play also today (third match in 6 days). Kobe coach Yoshida said: "I have a strong feeling that the players will win together, and I'm really happy that I won at home, by changing players and winning while fighting, the sense of unity will be strengthened".

Of course, Kashima is strong team, but their form in last matches slashed down a bit - they failed to win in 2 of last 5 matches in all competitions. In 3 of last 4 league matches Kashima had less shots than their opponents. On the other hand since Yoshida came to the Kobe they won 4 matches in a row, confidence in team is on the highest possible level and they have all required tools to continue great streak. Kobe coming to this game with the strongest possible line up.

Kobe currently looks very good at both ends of the pitch - they are converting chances into goals and they are super solid at the back - only one goal conceded in last 3 league matches and they allowed opponents to make only 17 shots in those matches.

Without any shadow of doubt value is on away side.

在我看来，神户胜利真的有很好的机会在今天的比赛中至少得到一分。

神户胜利喜欢在这个球场打球，目前他们在这里的表现非常出色，因为他们在客场对阵鹿岛的比赛中连续5场都没有输球。神户胜利在这个球场连续10场比赛至少打进1球。

3天前两队都打了杯赛，都赢了，但我相信神户胜利有更多的新鲜感，因为他们没有使用上一轮比赛的9名一线队球员。另一方面，鹿岛使用了一半的队伍，他们可能今天也会全部上场(6天内的第三场比赛)。神户胜利的教练吉田说:“我有一种强烈的感觉，球员们会一起赢球，我真的很高兴我在主场赢球，通过更换球员，在战斗中获胜，团结的感觉会得到加强。”

当然，鹿岛是一支强队，但是他们在最近几场比赛中的状态下降了一些——他们在所有比赛的最近5场比赛中有2场没赢。在最近4场联赛中，鹿岛队有3场的射门比对手少。另一方面，自从吉田来到神户胜利之后，他们取得了4连胜，对球队的信心达到了可能的最高水平，他们需要所有的工具来继续伟大的连胜。神户胜利带着最强阵容来到这场比赛。

神户胜利现在在攻防两端都很出色——他们把机会转化为进球，他们在后防线上也非常稳固——在最近的3场联赛中只丢了1球，他们只让对手投进了17球。

毫无疑问，价值就在一旁。
