Player to watch: Yuma Suzuki
Our player to watch in this game is the top scorer for Kashima Antlers with 10 goals in the league this season, the experienced forward Yuma Suzuki.
Suzuki to score from a penalty again?
We saw Suzuki convert a penalty kick into a goal four times this season already in the J1 League. Will he get another chance to do so against Yokohama?
