Command Analysis

Cerezo Osaka

Cerezo Osaka took only tenth place in the J-League standings last season. Now the team expects to perform more successfully, which is noticeable by the dedication of the players in the first matches. The hosts started the season with a derby against Gamba Osaka. In the main time, no one scored goals, there was only an exchange of red cards. Cerezo Osaka was unlucky in the penalty shootout, but at least she managed to score one point. Already in the second round, they managed to win their debut victory, beating Fukuoka on the road (2:0).

Sanfrecce Hiroshima

Hiroshima has played only two games in the J-League so far, but it already ranks first in the Western Conference, ahead of Kobe and Nagoya, who played three matches. At the start of the season, the guests defeated the newcomer of the league, Varen Nagasaki (3:1), and then defeated Okayama in a penalty shootout. In the Asian Champions League, Hiroshima took third place in the East and will soon play in the playoffs.

Most likely, the face-to-face match will turn out to be stubborn, and will end in a penalty shootout.
