The Cherry Blossoms of Cerezo Osaka have gone through their last five league games almost undefeated with three games and one stalemate. 

They were roped into a 0-0 bore draw against Urawa Red Diamonds last week in a ninety-minute scuffle that saw questions asked and a misfire from both camps in both halves. 

While Cerezo has taken ten points from the last five games, they still remain in the eight league spot - a position considered unworthy for their quality of play.

At home, in their last four games, they have won their last two matches, with a loss and a stalemate. Coach Papaa seems to have discovered the missing defense component, seeing how well they have guarded their goal area in recent games.
