To Japan today - or, rather, very early tomorrow.

Set your alarms for 7am BST, because that's when Cerezo Osaka's match with Ehime FC kicks off. And it promises to blow your overnight cobwebs away.

C-Osaka are ninth in the 22-team J2 League table, but stand out for one thing: after 16 rounds of the season, they are the division's joint top scorers (26 goals).

At Nagai Stadium, their last four matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals. And it's not just them taking all the glory. Far from it, in fact: they've conceded twice in 4/5 on home soil and lost the same fraction.

Ehime are level on points but one place below their hosts. They have scored three times in each of their last two home matches and look to be coming into a bit of form.

On the road recently, the team from Matsuyama have scored in 6/7 and seen 4/7 produce Over 2.5 Goals.
