In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Shonan Bellmare, by (3‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Albirex Niigata, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 21 at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 13 conceded at home, against 20 goals scored and 21 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Cerezo has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑1 (5 out of 12 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Having suffered only one defeat in their last five J-League matches highlights the team’s strong form. Although they are not competing for top positions in the standings, they have shown above-average determination to keep improving their performance. Coming off a win against Albirex in the previous round, they enter this match with high morale and aware that they have the tools to make life very difficult for an in-form Machida.

Confirmed Lineup: Koki Fukui, S. Hatanaka, Rikito Inoue, Dion Cools, H. Okuda, S. Tanaka, Lucas Fernandes, H. Kida, Thiago Andrade, M. Nakajima, Rafael Ratão.
Coach: A. Papastamatis.
