Cerezo Osaka form and stats

Cerezo Osaka's struggle is real here with only 5 points collected from 6 J-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.

The Cerezo Osaka manager Kogiku and his players return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Oita Trinita in the Nabisco Cup.

A J-League defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Nagoya Grampus.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cerezo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 4 matches, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J-League game versus Urawa Reds in only four days. This game is also played here.

Cerezo Osaka have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cerezo Osaka defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Kashiwa Reysol.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima in just four days.
