Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormCerezo Osaka will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against FC Tokyo. During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Akio Kogiku will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Yanmar Stadium Nagai. Kogiku will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 8 games in a row.
It's been a mixed run of form at Yanmar Stadium Nagai for Cerezo recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Léo Ceará will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cerezo Osaka.
Kashiwa Reysol, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Sagan Tosu in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Kashiwa Reysol. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 25 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Sagan Tosu, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
On an individual basis, Yuki Muto will be looking to cause Cerezo Osaka some problems having scored 2 goals in Kashiwa Reysol's last 6 away games in the league.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
In their past 5 meetings, Sakura's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Kashiwa will have to take their chances when they come. Sakura have struggled to break down the Kashiwa defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Kashiwa have managed to keep a clean sheet against Cerezo in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
In their last 3 league meetings, Cerezo have failed to record a victory against Kashiwa.
With no real injury worries, Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kashiwa manager Nélsinho Baptista has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
