Cerezo Osaka form and stats

The story so far in the J-League for Cerezo Osaka, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) at home in J-League, at their home stadium (Yanmar Stadium Nagai) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Cerezo, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Ahead of that match, Cerezo lost 1-3 at home to Kawasaki Frontale.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Cerezo as they have a new game in only three days, a J-League match thankfully also at home. Yokohama F. Marinos are visiting.

Cerezo has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Cerezo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats

There's been little loot from Shonan Bellmare's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the J-League. Shonan Bellmare, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in J-League, only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Bellmare who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Gamba Osaka was the last time a defeat was avoided. Bellmare has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Bellmare are looking to quickly end their 375 minutes long goal drought in the J-League.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Tokyo.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kashiwa Reysol in just four days.

Bellmare find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The Bellmare manager B. Ukishima has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
