The last 6 meetings between these two teams ended with a total of no more than 2 goals on 5 occasions (1-1, 2-1, 0-0, 1-1, 1-1, 1-0), but Kashiwa Reysol's current form has changed that picture. They have scored 10 goals in 4 matches this season, and 4 of their last 5 matches have seen 3 or more total goals (3-1, 4-2, 2-1). Cerezo Osaka have also had their share of high-scoring games, such as a 3-1 win or a 0-3 loss. This match therefore has more potential for open play than the H2H stats suggest. And looking at Kashiwa Reysol's scoring pattern, which is strong late in games (32% of goals come in the 76-90 min), the match is likely to be decided in the final 15 minutes, as the away side push for a third goal while Cerezo Osaka have to open up to chase the game.
