There is J. League Cup action scheduled for Wednesday as Oita Trinita will play Cerezo Osaka.
All Oita Trinita v Cerezo Osaka game predictions, stats and user poll are shown below including the latest game odds.
Oita Trinita will be looking for an improved result here following the 1-2 J2 League loss in their previous game against Roasso Kumamoto.
The only player to score from Oita Trinita was Kazuki Fujimoto (80'). Keisuke Tanabe (1') and Naohiro Sugiyama (29') scored for Roasso Kumamoto.
Over their prior six fixtures, Takahiro Shimotaira's Oita Trinita have managed to score a combined total of 6 times resulting in an average number of goals scored per match equal to 1.
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Nagoya Grampus in J1 League competition, Cerezo Osaka will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Cerezo Osaka managed 56% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Nagoya Grampus got 6 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Keiya Sento (6') was the scorer for Nagoya Grampus.
The attacking players from Cerezo Osaka have had real problems scoring goals in their past 6 encounters, recording the poor return of only 3. In those matches, Sakura have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 6.
A review of their most recent head-to-head clashes dating back to 07/12/2019 shows us that Oita Trinita have won 1 of these games and Cerezo Osaka 5, with the number of drawn results being 0.
13 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 2 of them from Oita and 11 being from Sakura. That’s an average goals per game of 2.17.
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Oita Trinita gaffer Takahiro Shimotaira to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Ryosuke Tone (Cruciate Ligament Injury) is sidelined.
Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Cerezo Osaka boss Akio Kogiku to be concerned with. Ryosuke Shindo (Calf Injury) misses out for this game.
We’re of the opinion that Oita Trinita will have a tough ask to see themselves scoring against this Cerezo Osaka lineup who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Cerezo Osaka at the end of the match.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
