Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Kashima Antlers will be viewed as a positive outcome for Cerezo Osaka and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Kashima Antlers' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Tokyo Verdy, Recent FormLast time out for Tokyo Verdy resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Urawa Red Diamonds in a match they really wanted to win. In that game they recorded 37 % of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have not lost away from home for an impressive 17 games in a row.
Itsuki Someno has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Cerezo Osaka.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-2 win for Cerezo Osaka.
Cerezo have managed to keep a clean sheet against Tokyo Verdy in each of their previous 2 meetings at Yodoko Sakura Stadium. Cerezo will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Tokyo Verdy, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 8 meetings between the two.
Tokyo Verdy have lost the last 3 times they've faced Cerezo in the league and have failed to win in their last 8 encounters.
Shinji Kagawa has scored in each of Cerezo's last 2 league games against Tokyo Verdy.
With no real injury worries, Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Tokyo Verdy manager Hiroshi Jofuku has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
