Oita Trinita have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Tomohiro Katanosaka will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Oita Trinita can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same games.
