Oita Trinita Cerezo Osaka betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 49 points won, after 15 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Shimizu S‑Pulse, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Cerezo Osaka has a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (7 out of 14 matches) and 0‑1 (5 out of 14 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Cerezo lost gas in the last few days, and put their chances of winning a place in continental competitions at risk. There are four games without a victory, causing disappointment for a team that came from a sequence of positive results. They will have to look for lost points away from home, against an opponent who usually causes them problems.
