Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Urawa Red Diamonds will have left the Cerezo Osaka squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Akio Kogiku will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
A win for Cerezo Osaka is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Shinji Kagawa will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Yanmar Stadium Nagai, having notched up 6 goals for Cerezo Osaka in their last 6 league matches at home.
Sagan Tosu, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Nagoya Grampus in their last league game, Sagan Tosu will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Nagoya Grampus had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Their boss Kenta Kawai is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sagan Tosu, Masaya Tashiro will be looking to add more goals against Cerezo Osaka in this match.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Sagan Tosu who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-1 to Cerezo Osaka.
Cerezo will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Sagan having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings.
In the league, Cerezo has a good track record when they host Sagan, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sagan manager Kenta Kawai has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
