👉 Our prediction is: Cerezo Osaka to win the 1st half

Cerezo Osaka is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts V-Varen Nagasaki a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Cerezo Osaka to win the first half.
