Cerezo Osaka vs Avispa Fukuoka Lineups and Last Match
Cerezo
Cerezo Osaka put in a great performance last time out away at Consadole Sapporo. Goals from Ceara, Kato, Kida and Kagawa saw the visitors claim an impressive 4-1 victory at the Sapporo Dome, a result that moved Osaka into the top four as a result.

Muto scored his second goal of the game 3-minutes from time to wrap up an easy 3pts for Vissel Kobe.

Player to Watch: Shinji Kagawa
The former Dortmund and Man Utd star returned to his home nation this season at the age of 34 and has proven that he still has plenty to offer at this level.
The veteran Japanese international has scored twice in 15 starts for Cerezo Osaka this season, coming off the bench in three games as well.
Kagawa made his name at this famous Japanese club where in 2009 he scored 27-goals in 44 matches before soon making the move to Germany. Following spells in Turkey, Spain, Greece and Belgium, Kagawa is home once again and making an impression.
We're backing Kagawa to make an impact on Friday against Avispa Fukuoka, creating chances and providing a goal threat of his own.
