Osaka Sakura's performance this season was mediocre. Not only did they exit the cup early, they also exited the championship competition early in the league. Currently in the Japan Professional League standings, Osaka Sakura currently ranks 10th with 46 points, and is already in the stage of having no desires and no needs.

However, without the pressure of record, Kawasaki Frontale has recently seemed to have regained its former glory as Kawasaki Munich. In the past 14 games, Kawasaki Frontale has played a terrifying 5 games with 7+ points, averaging close to 4 goals per game, which is extremely exaggerated.
In addition, Kawasaki Frontale’s away team performance has also been very good recently. The team has achieved 3 wins and 2 draws in the past 5 away league games and remains unbeaten. The away team’s scoring efficiency is very high.
In terms of personnel, the team’s defenders Sata Miura, Yuichi Maruyama, Shintaro Kuraya, Hideto Tanabe, and midfielder Ryota Oshima will all miss this game due to injuries, and the team’s midfield and backcourt personnel will face certain challenges.
The two teams met in the past 10 times, Osaka Sakura achieved 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, slightly having the upper hand. At present, both teams have nothing to ask for. Let us wait and see whether they can bring a crazy goal battle to the fans.
