Cerezo Osaka

Form: WDLWW

Cerezo Osaka was tipped for a top-four finish this season thanks to their strong start. But all those expectations have been washed away by a series of disappointing performances. Still, they can be proud of their achievements this season, as a seventh-place finish cou𝐆ld see them better their ninth-place finish from the previous campaign.

Before the international break, the tไeam was involved in a friendly contest against Kyoto Sanga, which saw them prevail in a 2-0 triumph. This comes after defeating Avispa Fukuoka 1-0 at home to extend their unbeaten run in the league to two matches (𒈔W1, D1). 

Kashima Antlers

Kashima Antlers, on the other hand, are clinging to conditional hopes before the season comes to a close. If they were to win their two remaining games, they could find themselves fini🔯shing third. Currently, they occupy fifth place with 59 points accumulated and are four points behind third-placed Machida Zelvia. 

The Antlers managed to snatch a point off Kyoto Sanga following a goalless draw away from home. This was their secon💜d consecutive 0-0 draw in the league. However, they do come into this clash full of confidence, boasting a five-match unbeaten run (D3, W2).

Expert Betting Tips

This♊ upcoming encounter is expected to be a tight affair. However, from my point of view, I feel the away team might be able to walk away with all three po💮ints here. 

The reason behind this can be backed up by their dominant performance in th💮is fixture. Besides losing just one of their last 16 matches (W12, D3), they have won their last ten consecutive away matches. This is why I recommend supporting them in the fu𝓀ll-time market.
