Vissel Kobe, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Vissel Kobe players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Sanfrecce Hiroshima. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Sanfrecce Hiroshima who had 23 attempts and 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Takayuki Yoshida will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 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 failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Yuya Osako will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe, having notched up 5 goals for Vissel Kobe in their last 6 league matches at home.
Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormThe Cerezo Osaka players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Kashima Antlers recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they recorded 73 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Léo Ceará will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Cerezo Osaka.
Vissel Kobe suffered the disappointment of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Cerezo Osaka the last time they met in the league.
Sakura will be confident of finding the net in this one against Vissel, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. The Cerezo defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Ushi in the league, with Cerezo conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Vissel have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Cerezo.
Vissel have lost the last 3 times they've faced Cerezo in the league and have failed to win in their last 7 encounters.
With no real injury worries, Vissel manager Takayuki Yoshida will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
