This could be an interesting match as Yokohama F. Marinos have their presumed home advantage while Cerezo Osaka are ahead 12 points in the J-League table.
It's no vacation for neither Yokohama F. Marinos nor Cerezo Osaka as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Yokohama F. Marinos form and stats
Overall J-League stats at home this season for Yokohama F. Marinos are 4-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
No payout for Yokohama in their previous match, an away game at Nagoya Grampus that ended in defeat 1-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Kawasaki Frontale that was lost 1-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Yokohama have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won nine times, drawn one and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the J-League game versus Shimizu S-Pulse in only three days. This game is also played here at Nissan Stadium.
The Yokohama manager A. Postecoglou has got the team scoring with 18 from 8 home games in the league. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Yokohama F. Marinos defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Cerezo Osaka form and stats
The away team, who have the most clean sheets (7) in J-League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the J-League. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Cerezo hope to make it five in this match.
The Cerezo goalkeeper Jin-Hyeon Kim is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 185 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Cerezo had fun at their own home (Nissan Stadium) last time out, beating Consadole Sapporo 2-0. H. Okuno (2) scored. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Urawa Reds.
We have checked recent matches where Cerezo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were zero victories, zero draws and one defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Cerezo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J-League game at Vissel Kobe is waiting in only three days.
The travelling fans enjoy Cerezo's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Cerezo Osaka have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
