Cerezo Osaka and Vissel Kobe will face off in the J1 League at the Yadoko Sakura Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Sakura are ninth in the league standings, while Ushi are in second place after 26 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
With 37 points in 26 games (W10 D7 L9), Cerezo Osaka are in no immediate danger of relegation but are also unlikely to challenge the sides at the top of the table.
Sakura suffered a 3-0 defeat to Machida in their last match. That was just the second league match in seven in which they failed to score, while having netted two or more in the remaining five games during that period.
Despite their league position, Cerezo have the fourth-best home record in the league this season (W7 D3 L3), including five wins in their last six games at this venue.
Meanwhile, Vissel Kobe are aiming to win the J1 title for a third season in a row, and are level on 49 points (W15 D4 L8) with the current league leaders, Machida Zelvia.
Ushi slipped out of the top spot after back-to-back defeats against Machida and Yokohama FC, but they picked up a much-needed victory over Sanfreece 1-0 in midweek.
The visitors have earned 26 points in 14 away games this season and have only lost one of their last six league matches on the road.
