Cerezo Osaka form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Cerezo Osaka have to build on here at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in the J-League. The Cerezo manager Kogiku might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Cerezo Osaka, as their goalkeeper Jin-Hyeon Kim has completely shut out the opponents for 203 minutes in the J-League.
The Cerezo coach Kogiku and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Tokyo in the Nabisco Cup.
In the game before, an away victory in the J-League match versus Shonan Bellmare with a 2-0 scoreline.The Cerezo Osaka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Cerezo Osaka's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Yokohama form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Yokohama so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
The fans enjoyed Yokohama's previous match versus Sanfrecce Hiroshima, a Nabisco Cup win (1-0) played at home.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Kawasaki Frontale in the J-League.The attacking power of Yokohama when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Yokohama manager Yomoda has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels. Yokohama has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
