Gamba Osaka form and stats

5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Gamba Osaka so far this season. Gamba Osaka has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Nishigaoka National Stadium. We remember; it was Yokohama F. Marinos.

No payout for Gamba Osaka in their previous match, an away game at Yokohama F. Marinos that ended in defeat 1-2. Before that defeat this team had gone eight consecutive league rounds without a loss. Midfield player Yamamoto got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Yamamoto served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 47 successful passes (of 53 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Kawasaki Frontale and winning 4-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gamba Osaka have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Gamba have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Nishigaoka National Stadium with 17 goals in 11 league matches. On the other hand, Gamba Osaka have conceded 13 goals.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats

There's been little loot from Shonan Bellmare's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 12 away games in the J-League. Shonan Bellmare only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Albirex Niigata (placed 14th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Albirex Niigata after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Yamaguchi needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Song had red hot gloves after the game against Albirex Niigata, shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made. Attacker Ohashi got a player rating of 8.1 in the game. "Man of the match" Ohashi scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

We have checked recent matches where Shonan Bellmare have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 1 victory, 4 draws and 8 defeats.

Bellmare find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Shonan Bellmare have conceded 23 goals in their away games.
