ℹ️ Team News: Cerezo Osaka

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Cerezo Osaka manager Arthur Papas to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Yuichi Hirano (Meniscus injury) is out of contention.

ℹ️ Team News: Machida Zelvia

Due to a mostly healthy group, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Machida Zelvia boss Go Kuroda to be concerned with. Takumi Narasaka (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

We believe that Machida Zelvia and Cerezo Osaka may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. That is why we are leaning toward a 1-1 score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
