Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormCerezo Osaka had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Kawasaki Frontale. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Kawasaki Frontale, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. 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.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Shinji Kagawa will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Yanmar Stadium Nagai, having notched up 5 goals for Cerezo Osaka in their last 6 league matches at home.
Yokohama F. Marinos, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Kashima Antlers in their last league game, Yokohama F. Marinos will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 57 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Kevin Muscat will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
José Élber will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Cerezo Osaka in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Yokohama F. Marinos.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Cerezo have scored in each of their last 9 games at home in the league against Marinos.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Cerezo might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 3 encounters.
Cerezo player Hiroaki Okuno will be feeling confident about recording goals against Yokohama FM ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Cerezo manager Akio Kogiku will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Yokohama FM manager Kevin Muscat has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
