Kawasaki Frontale will host Cerezo Osaka at the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have struggled for results of late and currently find themselves 15th in the league table with 24 points from 22 games.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Jubilo Iwata in their last league game and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points following second-half strikes from Daiya Tono and Kento Tachibanada before their opponents restored parity in additional time.
Cerezo Osaka, meanwhile, have picked up important points in the league of late and are now pushing for the continental places in the table. They were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Tokyo Verdy last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage.
The visitors sit fifth in the league table with 36 points from 22 games and will be looking to add to that tally on Sunday.
