Cerezo Osaka - Yokohama Marinos: betting tip for the Japanese Championship match

Current form

Cerezo Osaka has been teetering on the edge of the top 10 for the last two seasons. The team is currently in a similar situation - the club occupies the 12th place in the standings, but is only two points behind the seventh position. In recent rounds, the team from Osaka has managed to score important away wins over clubs from the top half of the ranking, Kyoto (3:2) and Kobe (3:1). It is worth noting that matches with the participation of the hosts almost always turn out to be interesting - 45 goals were scored in 15 matches of Cerezo Osaka. 

Disqualifications and injuries

Yuichi Hirano will miss the match due to injury. Vitor Bueno's entry into the field is questionable. 

Interesting betting trends

• None of the last four matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
• The team has scored six goals in the last two matches.

Approximate composition: Fukui - Funaki, Hatanaka, Shindo- Takahashi, Kagawa, Kida, Okuda - Rafael Batao, Uejo - Furuyama

Current form

Yokohama Marinos has been disappointing so far this season. Two years ago, the team was fighting for the championship and took second place, and now it is in last place with no particular prospects of leaving it in the near future. The visitors have only eight points after 12 matches, and the gap from the safe zone is already seven points. Marinos have three matches left, but this result is still extremely sad. On April 26, the Yokohama team left the Asian Champions League, losing heavily to Saudi Al-Nasr (1-4). 

Disqualifications and injuries

Kimura and Noguchi will not play for the guests. Miyaichi's entry into the field is questionable. 

Interesting betting trends

• The team suffered four defeats in a row
• The visitors have conceded ten goals in the last three matches.

Approximate composition: Pak - Matsubara, Deng, Suwama - Nagato, Jean-Claude, Yamane, Miyaichi-Uenaka, Tono - Anderson Lopez
