Cerezo Osaka Shimizu S-Pulse betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 3^rd position of the league, with 3 points won. In their debut they won in an away match against Kashima Antlers, by (1‑3). In the second round, they tied in a home match against Avispa Fukuoka, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 31 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Shimizu S‑Pulse has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times but have turned the score around in 2. In the last 19 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Shimizu goes to Osaka to face Cerezo and knows that they have a complicated duel ahead. The Shizuoka teamb needs to keep the will to win during the 90 minutes, playing hard and with a well-developed strategy. The team can invest in a reactive stance, letting the opponent move forward and focusing on marking efforts to steal the ball and exploit counter attacks. A draw can be a good result.
