FC Tokyo, Recent FormFC Tokyo will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Shonan Bellmare last time out. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Shonan Bellmare who had 18 attempts and 9 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Ajinomoto Stadium. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Ryoma Watanabe will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for FC Tokyo.
Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormThe Cerezo Osaka squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 10 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Léo Ceará will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Cerezo Osaka's last 6 league games.
Cerezo Osaka will be looking to forget their last league encounter with FC Tokyo, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
FC Tokyo will be confident of finding the net in this one against Sakura, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Sakura have failed to score a single goal against FC Tokyo. We have seen plenty of goals from FC Tokyo when they play at home against Cerezo. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
