Inconsistent Cerezo to Show Their Good Side?!
Cerezo Osaka – DF Takahashi will be out for a month.
Cerezo Osaka (P7 W3 D1 L3 GD +2) have, once again proved their inconsistency this season already with away wins at Frontale and Ardija and home losses to Albirex and Antlers – the latter after taking a 2-0 lead! Can we expect the good side or the bad side of Cerezo today? With the likes of Kiyotake and Kim on excellent form, ably supported by the future of the game in Ogihara, Yamaguchi and more, surely Cerezo will bounce back from last week’s defeat at Kashima and put the Shizuoka pretenders in their place today?
Jubilo Iwata (P7 W4 D2 L1 GD +3) have a draw with Sendai, two 1-0 wins and a referee-assisted win against Gamba Osaka – one goal offside and the best dive of the season so far by Maeda for a PK – in their last five games and equal 2nd spot seems to be more than their performances deserve, but it’s goals and points that count in the end. I think the good side of Cerezo will be on display here so you can expect a WIN for CEREZO OSAKA!
