This match features two teams living in the basement of the J3-League, Cerezo Osaka U23 holding 16th place and YSCC lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

0-1-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for YSCC when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those two matches are 2-3 (scored/conceded).

YSCC form and stats

The J3-League season is young and YSCC, who have the most conceded goals (18) in J3-League, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, YSCC are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Home advantage was not enough for YSCC in their previous game, as they lost their J3-League-match, hosting Blaublitz Akita, 0-1. Before that, YSCC secured a home win against Fukushima United with the score 2-1.

YSCC have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The YSCC defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's two Cerezo victories, five draws and one YSCC win. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
