They boast the league's best defensive record, conceding only 11 goals. Tokyo and Machida Zelvia share 39 points in 2nd and 3rd respectively, both with 13 wins and 5 losses. Vissel Kobe and Cerezo Osaka are tied at 33 points, while Nagoya Grampus and Sanfrecce Hiroshima complete the top seven with 30 points each.

Favorites & Title Chances
Based on the current table, form and points gaps, the title probabilities are estimated as follows:
- Kashima Antlers โ around 60%: With a 6โpoint lead and 20 matches remaining, their consistent win rate (83%) and watertight defence give them a clear edge. The defending champions are wellโpositioned to retain the trophy.
- Tokyo โ around 20%: They have the firepower (32 goals scored) and are matching Machida pointโforโpoint. If Kashima slips, Tokyo is poised to capitalise.
- Machida Zelvia โ around 20%: Equally placed on 39 points, their 28 goals for and 22 against suggest a solid allโround game. They remain very much in the title hunt.
