Avispa Fukuoka vs Cerezo Osaka Prediction 15 August 2026

Head-to-head statistics Avispa Fukuoka - Cerezo Osaka
Avispa Fukuoka Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the J1 League tournament (home team - Avispa Fukuoka, away team - Vissel Kobe). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:1.
Here's the game statistics (Avispa Fukuoka vs Vissel Kobe):
- ball possession: 46% vs 54%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 1;
- fouls: 22 vs 5;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 1;
- shots on target: 2 vs 3.
The hosts come into this match after a first-round defeat to Vissel Kobe (0:1). But there is nothing to be ashamed of. Losing by the minimum to the reigning champion of the transition season, while even outperforming them in shots, is quite respectable. That said, over a longer distance Avispa are unconvincing, even at home, having won just 1 of their last 11 home J.League 1 matches.

Cerezo Osaka Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the J1 League tournament (home team - Cerezo Osaka, away - Fagiano Okayama). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:1.
Here are the match stats (Cerezo Osaka vs Fagiano Okayama):
- ball possession: 50% vs 50%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 8;
- fouls: 14 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 0;
- shots on target: 4 vs 5.
The visitors, on the other hand, have an extremely pleasant trend, going nine consecutive J.League matches without a defeat. Last season they were the most reliable team in the West (19 goals conceded), but in the first round of the current campaign they conceded against Fagiano Okayama. What's more, they had three times fewer shots than their opponents. So Pablo Machin has a lot of work ahead of him. Despite the positive result, his team did not convince.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Bookmakers see no favourite here, and our editors can't pick one either. Cerezo look confident in head-to-head meetings, but were far from impressive in the opening round, while Avispa put on a fairly decent performance against Kobe. With that in mind, we'll take a risk and go for a 1:1 draw. The optimal bet is both teams to score (yes). Goal exchanges are simply too characteristic of matches involving Osaka.
