Getting nearer the top sides is the task when these two mid-table sides meet. Both are aiming to strenghten their league table position, Consadole Sapporo in 11th and Cerezo Osaka in 12th position.

Insights:
  • Consadole Sapporo have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Consadole and Cerezo Osaka.

Cerezo Osaka have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Consadole Sapporo form and stats

Consadole Sapporo have collected 23 points from their J-League home games so far after 7-2-5. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Consadole, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

T. Ogashiwa was the last player to score a league goal for Consadole Sapporo and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Consadole haven't scored in 203 minutes.

Consadole Sapporo lost their last game at Tokyo (placed 8th) after a 0-2 scoreline.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Tokyo in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Consadole Sapporo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Consadole Sapporo as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Consadole Sapporo has won five of these, drawn three and lost seven.

The manager M. Petrović will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cerezo Osaka in only three days.

A decent goal production from Consadole in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 14 league matches. On the other hand, Consadole have conceded 20 goals.

Cerezo Osaka form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cerezo Osaka so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-6 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for Cerezo, whose manager A. Kogiku could celebrate last time after the Nabisco Cup win against Gamba Osaka. As mentioned above, Cerezo Osaka was the only team on the pitch versus Gamba Osaka in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A 0-1 loss hosting Gamba Osaka before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Cerezo Osaka in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Cerezo Osaka, three draws and four defeats.

After this away game Cerezo Osaka return home for a J-League game against Consadole Sapporo. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cerezo have scored 15 goals in 12 league games away. 17 goals have been conceded by Cerezo in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Consadole victory, three draws and six Cerezo Osaka wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
