Football – Japan – J-League Betting Tips
An entertaining match is anticipated when hosts, Cerezo Osaka, take on Kashiwa Reysol at their KINCHO Stadium on Saturday evening with the prospect of goals seeming to be very high between these two sides.
Cerezo Osaka sit in second place and just one point below J-League leaders Kashima Antlers when they take on third placed Kashiwa Reysol, as the hosts have been in impressive form of late, putting together a seven-match unbeaten run prior to this clash.
Cerezo have won six of these last seven matches, but the striking thing is that six of the seven matches have seen over 2.5 goals being achieved, and with forwards Sugimoto (7 goals) and Kakitani (3 goals) along with midfielder Yamamura (7 goals) in their ranks, further goals seem likely tonight.
Onto Kashiwa Reysol, and the visitors sit in third spot and a point behind Cerezo Osaka following last week’s 3-2 defeat at home to league leaders Kashima Antlers. Prior to this defeat, Kashiwa had put together an equally impressive 10 match unbeaten streak which has also lifted them into one of the early AFC Champions League spots.
Kashiwa Reysol also possess a strong looking away record which stands at 6-1-1 13/5 and includes six games without defeat ahead of their trip to Osaka this evening. Kashiwa have failed to score just once on their travels so far this season which was a 0-0 stalemate last time out on the road at Ventforet Kofu.
The visitors also have dangerous attacking personnel in their squad which includes Brazilian forward pair Cristiano (7 goals) and Diego Oliveira (3 goals).
With plenty of goals already scored by both teams, as well as the attacking personnel on display, I reckon we’ll see some goals tonight.
Pick: Over 2.5 @ 2.00 bet365
