Match announcement
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo
JapanCurrent Form
Sapporo is having a disappointing season and is likely to play in the second division next year. The team has earned only 32 points in 34 matches, placing them second to last in the standings. They are seven points away from the safe zone, making it extremely difficult to close this gap in the remaining four rounds. In their last three matches, they secured wins against Kyoto (2-0) and Nagoya (2-0), and narrowly missed a victory against Gamba Osaka (1-2), conceding two goals in injury time. The team has shown promise in recent games, but they needed to fight for survival much earlier.
Suspensions and Injuries
Kim Gun-Hee, Shun Takagi, and Hiroki Miyazawa will miss the upcoming match due to injuries. The participation of Yui Asano, Tatsuya Hasegawa, Supachok Sarachat, and Katsuyuki Tanaka is uncertain.

Cerezo Osaka
JapanCurrent Form
Cerezo Osaka is currently eighth in the J-League standings. The team could have been closer to the top group, but they endured an eight-match winless streak in the league over the summer. This run left the club mid-table. Recently, the situation has improved with three wins in their last five matches. They defeated Shonan (2:1), Gamba Osaka (1:0), and Urawa (1:0), and drew with Kashiwa (0:0). However, in the last round, the Osaka club lost to another relegation contender, Iwata (1:2).
