Urawa Red Diamonds, Recent FormWith Yokohama F. Marinos sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Urawa Red Diamonds won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Yokohama F. Marinos, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Saitama Stadium 2002.
There will be mixed feelings from Reds, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cerezo Osaka players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Avispa Fukuoka. In that game they recorded 58 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 14 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Akio Kogiku where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 9 in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
A win for Cerezo Osaka is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
The Cerezo Osaka travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Mutsuki Kato, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Urawa Red Diamonds, losing 0-1 to Cerezo Osaka.
