📋 Team News: Cerezo Osaka

From a largely healthy squad, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Cerezo Osaka gaffer Miguel Lotina to be concerned about. Shu Mogi (Corona virus) misses out for this game.

We feel that over the course of the game, Oita Trinita might have a difficult job to breach the defence of this Cerezo Osaka side who should score & stay on top.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning margin for Cerezo Osaka at the conclusion of the game.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
