Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormThe Avispa Fukuoka players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Vissel Kobe recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Vissel Kobe who had 13 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Avispa will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 8 home league games.
When home matches come round at Best Denki Stadium, Shahab Zahedi will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Avispa Fukuoka's last 6 home league matches.
Cerezo Osaka, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cerezo Osaka players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Machida Zelvia. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Machida Zelvia's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period. They've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Goalscorer Léo Ceará will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 6 goals in his last 6 league matches for Cerezo Osaka.
