The Cherry Blossoms of the Yodomo Sakura grounds were knocked two goals down in the away 2-0 league brawl against Kawasaki Frontale. What Cerezo Osaka lacked in the league game against Kawasaki Frontale was picked up in the 4-1 Cup break against the Kyoto Sanga’s Purples.

Cerezo Osaka has scored in all games at home, despite winning two of the most recent four games.

They also have had the upper hand in the last two direct meetings between them, beating them both at the Yodoko and the Best Denki grounds.

In the last five league games, they have sandwiched three wins between two losses, with twenty-two points in seventeen appearances and currently perched on the eleventh league position.

🏁 Cerezo Osaka: Lineup

Team: Of the last ten games, Cerezo Osaka has conceded in nine games. There is a need for Artur Papas to make significant changes in the defending make-up if he hopes to clinch any hope of a top-table finish this year. The attacking front is solid, with obstinacy reflected in the day-in-day-out performance every week.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fukui, Shindo-Hatanaka-Nishio, Okuda-Kagawa-Kida-Takahashi, Uejo-Fernandes, Ratao

👤 Head Coach: Arthur Papas

⛔ Out: Nil

Last Five Matches: DLLLD

Winless in the last seven league appearances, The Fukuoka giants’ last league fixture against Nagoya Grampus kept us all on the edge of our seats, eventually ending the game on a placid note with the scoreboard reading one goal apiece for each camp.

Parity against Nagoya was welcomed by the twelfth man as a fresh breath, considering how woeful they have been in prevailing games. Their cup break saw them defeat junior-tiered side Kataller Toyama in the 2-1 scoreline that ensued after ninety minutes.

On the road, Fukuoka has been piss-poor with three losses and one stalemate in four games.

🏁 Avispa Fukuoka: Lineup

Team: The team, which has struggled with attack since the beginning of the season also continues to get their porous defense shredded through regularly. As such, Fukuoka Head Coach Myung Hwi Kim will be at the mercy of the fans, who have grown impatient with the long-standing drought.

Player: A few names can be patted on the back, considering the level of contribution they have made to the squad. Defenders Tashiro and Ando alongside the attacking trio consisting of Nago, Konno, and Iwasaki proved to be bug names last week against Nagoya Grampus.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Murakami, Tashiro-Ando-Takumu, Shichi-Matsuoka-Shigemi-Maejima, Nago-Konmo, Iwasaki

👤 Head Coach: Myung Hwi Kim

⛔ Out: Nil
