Albirex Niigata, Recent FormAlbirex Niigata will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Yokohama F. Marinos with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Yokohama F. Marinos' tally of 19 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
Manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Albirex, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormThe Cerezo Osaka players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Kyoto Sanga recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 70%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Kyoto Sanga had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 1 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Denka Big Swan Stadium, Sakura have been unable to break through the Albirex defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Cerezo have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Albirex.
Cerezo have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Albirex in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at Denka Big Swan Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Albirex manager Rikizo Matsuhashi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
