The Cerezo Osaka U23 manager K. Murata attacks this game with the team placed 14th so far. In the visitors dressing room Kagoshima United and their manager J. Kim are in 10th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cerezo Osaka U23 form and stats
Only two J3-League home games for Cerezo Osaka U23 so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Cerezo lost their last game at Imabari (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Cerezo Osaka U23 had a home game versus Gifu which ended with a victory 2-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Cerezo as they have a new game in only four days, a J3-League match thankfully also at home. Kamatamare Sanuki are visiting.
Cerezo Osaka U23 has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Kagoshima United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Kagoshima United in their J3-League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Kagoshima United play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Gamba Osaka U23 (placed 16th). A 1-2 loss hosting Gainare Tottori before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Gamba Osaka U23 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A quick return to home after this game, as Kagoshima are hosting Gifu in the J3-League only four days away.
Kagoshima have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches. Kagoshima United have conceded 6 goals in these games.
