Cerezo Osaka is one of the better team sin J2 this year and I think with the quality that they possess, promoting into the top tier should not be a major issue. They have a very tight defence and more importantly, they know how to win games ugly when they need. Currently, they have the best record at home of 6-1-0 and their record of 14 goals scored is just amazing. Although Mito Hollyhock lost 1-5 at home to leaders to Shonan Bellmore last weekend, the season that they are having is acceptable given their woeful finish the previous year.

Osaka have won all but their two home games before half time in 2009 but for Mito, surprisingly they have only went behind in one of their away matches by half time. Although I fully expect, Osaka to win this game by 2 goals or more, I think Hollyhock will provide strong resistance until they are finally tore apart in the second phase of the game. Go for the draw/home bet at a rewarding  offer.

Draw/Osaka @ 4.33 with bet365
