Our Free Predictions for Shimizu S-Pulse vs Cerezo Osaka

Shimizu S-Pulse won the last meeting with Cerezo Osaka and hope they can get back to back victories against the visitors since 2017/18 season. Our best three predictions for this J-League match are as follows:

Shimizu to score first @ 6/5 (2.20)

If not for an own goal that Shimizu S-Pulse gifted Cerezo Osaka in the last meeting, the hosts would have scored the first goal in the five of the six encounters. Still, scoring first in four of those meetings means there is a good chance Shimizu S-Pulse will score first. Home advantage should be a crucial factor in this game and with that, backing the hosts to open the scoring is not far-fetched.

BTTS @ 9/10 (1.90)

We are tipping the possibility of both teams scoring in this game. Shimizu S-Pulse may have lot their last league engagement against Yokohama FM but they only failed to score against Cerezo Osaka in only one of the last five meetings. The visitors have only failed to score once in their last five engagements across all competitions. Moreover, only one out of the last five meetings didn’t record goals on both ends.

Over 2.5 @ 23/20 (2.15)

The prospect of having a winner in this J-League Round 4 fixture is high. And since we have backed both teams to score on matchday, over 2.5 is a good pick for this game. Note that there were at least three goals in four of the last five matchups between these teams.

Shimizu S-Pulse vs Cerezo Osaka J-League Fixture Preview

This is a fixture between an average team and one that is struggling to get results in the new J-League season. Read our preview for more details about the game.

Shimizu S-Pulse

At 9^th place, the hosts have four points from three games, which doesn’t auger well with their chances of being a competitive outfit this season. The hosts are 12^th in home performance after getting a draw from their only home match this season. A second home game should come with some hopes of bagging a second win in four games this season.

Cerezo Osaka

Like Shimizu S-Pulse, Cerezo Osaka comes to this game with a defeat in their last J-League engagement. The defeat came on the back of four-unbeaten run, two of which were wins. And looking at how both sides have fared in recent games, Cerezo Osaka have a tough match ahead given that the hosts had gone unbeaten in 8 games. A draw in the only game so far complicates things for the visitors even though they boast a slightly better run against Shimizu in previous meetings.
