Cerezo Osaka to Win
Despite struggling to give a good account of their abilities in the J1 League this season, Cerezo Osaka has impressed in cup competitions. They are still going strong in the Emperor's Cup and have registered successive victories in the AFC Champions League. They have enough in the tank to dampen the mood in the Port FC camp, who secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Guangzhou FC. Osaka has the better defence and the correct big-game mentality to claim the points on offer.
Total Goals: Over 2.5
Both sides have seen their last competitive outings end with Over 2.5 goals scorelines. This goes to show their scoring aptitude in the current scenario. It was Port who outscored Cerezo Osaka when it comes to dunking on the group's whipping boys, Guangzhou. With Group J entering its final stretch and points coming at a premium, we expect another high scoring affair that ends in Cerezo Osaka's favour.
Both Teams to Score: Yes
After drawing a blank in their first outing, Port impressed with three against Guangzhou. They should manage to trouble the scorers again at the Chang Arena but in our estimates will not be to deal with the attacking threat of Cerezo Osaka. However, it should not stop from fans and neutrals to a high scoring spectacle where both goalkeepers have to fish out the ball from their own nets.
Cerezo Osaka vs Port: Team News and Match Preview
Cerezo Osaka
The Sakura continue to impress in the AFC Champions League, a welcome reprieve after their less than spectacular displays in the J1 League. They are primed for qualification to the Play-Offs but manager Levir Culpi will be well aware that the job is not complete until the goal is achieved. Cerezo Osaka has done remarkably at the back but will be concerned with the profligacy of their forwards as defender Tiago Pagnussat leads their scoring charts. However, it should not be a concern as Riki Harakawa continues to provide assists with ease, and already has three to his name.
Port FC
The Port Lions have replied with guile following their opening-round loss to Kitchee. Sarawut Treephan's men impressed in their expert 3-0 dismantling of Guangzhou FC and now look to claim the bigger scalp of Cerezo Osaka. However, defeating the J1 League outfit is easier said than done. The good thing in their favour is the contribution of goals as three different players have gotten on the scoreboard for them. From this lot, Pakorn Parmpak has impressed with a goal and assist to his name in the AFC Champions League.
