Command Analysis

Cerezo Osaka

Current form
The hosts' last season turned out to be unremarkable - tenth place in the standings and no cup successes. Nevertheless, the current championship begins for Cerezo Osaka with even more sad results. In the first round, they managed to score a crushing victory in the derby over Gamba Osaka (5:2), but then everything went awry. Three defeats and two draws have brought the club into the relegation zone. Of the positive aspects, we can only note a successful start in the League Cup - the wards of Artur Papastamatis managed to defeat Kamatamare from the third league with a score of 5:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Yuichi Hirano will miss the match. The appearance of Hiroaki Okuno on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last six matches.
- The hosts beat the opponent in the last three face-to-face matches
Provisional squad: Kim - Nishio, Hatanaka, Funaki, Takahashi - Tanaka, Kida - Fernandez, Kitano, Rafael Ratao - Nakajima

Urawa Red Diamonds

Current form
Urawa is also still in the middle of the Japanese championship and is unlikely to be able to make a step up this season. The club has scored six points in six matches and is one step away from the relegation zone, in 17th place. The team is one point ahead of today's opponent, which clearly adds intrigue to the upcoming match. After four matches without a win on March 8, the wards of Maciej Skorza still managed to beat Okayama on their own field (1-0). After that, the Red Diamonds managed to put up serious resistance to the current leader of the championship, Kashima. The away match ended with a score of 1:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomoaki Okubo will not play due to injury. Kai Shibato's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last seven matches.
- Urawa has not won four matches in a row on the road.
Approximate composition: Nishikawa - Sekine, Danilo, Heybraten, Ogiwara - Yasui, Gustafsson - Kaneko, Matsumoto, Mateus Savio - Tiago

1.61Tip and bets
The rivals have a lot in common - both teams started the season rather poorly and the fans clearly expect more from them. At the same time, the hosts are the second team in the league in terms of performance, but the guests are penultimate in this indicator. It is quite possible that the clash of two different game styles will end in a draw. We don't see anyone with a clear advantage in this pair, so we recommend betting on a draw with a good coefficient.
Our betting tip is a draw for 3.45
Bet on the total
The teams are neighbors in the standings and will obviously prepare for such an important confrontation. We believe that the coaches will pay special attention to defense, but no one will want to easily give away three points to competitors. The players will try to avoid mistakes at their own goal as much as possible, so you should not expect high performance here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.82
Betting on corners
We think that the opponents will rely on defense, so do not expect a large number of flank attacks. A defensive style of play is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.62
