Kashiwa Reysol have some work to do from their 14th place, and the task starts against Cerezo Osaka. Read more!

Insights:
  • Kashiwa Reysol have the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in J-League

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Relegation threatens Kashiwa who should definitely be looking for some points here. Cerezo is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Kashiwa Reysol form and stats

5 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats. That’s what Kashiwa Reysol have to build on here at SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium in the J-League.

Kashiwa Reysol are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Nagoya Grampus. The versatile forward Cristiano bettered all the other players in that match and was awarded a match rating of 7.15 out of 10. Cristiano hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Urawa Reds (1-5).

This is expected to be a close game, with Kashiwa Reysol perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kashiwa Reysol as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Kashiwa Reysol has won four of these, drawn two and lost ten.

Kashiwa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 16 games. Kashiwa have conceded 26 from these games.

Cerezo Osaka form and stats

5-4-8 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cerezo Osaka in their J-League matches away.

Cerezo play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Tokushima Vortis (placed 17th). Midfield player Hiroaki Okuno was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.32/10. Okuno served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 28 successful passes (of 32 total).

It was a Nabisco Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Nagoya Grampus wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cerezo playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Cerezo Osaka wins, three draws and four defeats.

Cerezo have scored 20 goals on their travels this season, from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 20 goals have been conceded by Cerezo in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
