Cerezo Osaka form and stats

When playing at home in the J-League, Cerezo Osaka have managed 6 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.

The home followers saw a 1-1 draw vs Shonan Bellmare in the Emperor Cup last time out and are looking for a win here.

A home victory ahead of that game, as expected. The team were huge favourites against Omiya Ardija and won 3-1. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cerezo Osaka have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 5 and lost 4.

The Cerezo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches.

Tokyo form and stats

Tokyo have only collected 7 points from their away games in the J-League, after 1-4-6 (11 played).

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Emperor Cup home loss versus Roasso Kumamoto with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

A 1-3 loss hosting Kashima Antlers before that.

Tokyo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

The attacking power of Tokyo when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As for defending, Tokyo rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The latest recorded meeting featuring both these sides is the Tokyo - Cerezo 1-2 played earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Cerezo Osaka victories, three draws and five Tokyo wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
