Sanfrecce Hiroshima welcome Cerezo Osaka at EDION Stadium Hiroshima, Hiroshima today at 12:00 PM in a J1 League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Cerezo Osaka travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Sanfrecce Hiroshima here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Cerezo Osaka, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sanfrecce Hiroshima won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sanfrecce Hiroshima a slight edge, but Cerezo Osaka are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
