As Cerezo Osaka and Albirex Niigata prepare to meet again, the memory of the 2-2 tie in their J-League match from 6 months ago still lingers. Cerezo Osaka come into this match following a defeat to F.C.Tokyo on August 6, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance.

Albirex Niigata's form has been disappointing in the same manner, approaching this match after six consecutive defeats to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Toyo University, Kyoto Purple Sanga, Machida Zelvia, Kawasaki Frontale and Avispa Fukuoka. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last six matches.

This J-League match offers a platform for Cerezo Osaka and Albirex Niigata’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Cerezo Osaka’s Lucas Fernandes and top finisher Rafael Ratao have played important roles in ensuring their attack, guided by Arthur Papas, remains effective. With eleven goals in J-League, Ratao is Cerezo Osaka’s top scorer in the league, while Fernandes remains their top assist provider in the competition with fifteen. Cerezo Osaka have also relied on Sota Kitano, Motohiko Nakajima and Thiago Andrade to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Albirex Niigata’s offensive unit, shaped by Toru Irie’s vision, has leaned on Motoki Hasegawa, their main scorer, and Danilo Gomes, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Hasegawa leads Albirex Niigata’s scoring charts in J-League this season with seven goals, as Hashimoto continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with two assists. Ken Yamura, Jin Okumura and Kaito Taniguchi have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Albirex Niigata’s attack.
