Cerezo Osaka U23 hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 18th position in the J3-League table. Visiting Kataller Toyama holds 8th place with 24 pts.
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!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Kataller Toyama have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
