Gamba Osaka form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Emperor Cup for Gamba, as the manager M. Matsunami led his troops to eliminate Kwansei Gakuin, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season their Emperor Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

With 3 J-League wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Gamba Osaka are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A good away victory last time out for Gamba Osaka, who won 1-0 against Shimizu S-Pulse. Gen Shoji was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.05 out of 10. The defender Shoji won 6 of 8 duels. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Matsunami when Hiroto Yamami scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.

A J-League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Tokushima Vortis.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Gamba, as the J-League home game vs Tokyo is only three days away.

Gamba have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Gamba's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Matsumoto Yamaga form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Ryukyu in order to reach 3rd round of Emperor Cup. Matsumoto's mission in Emperor Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.

There's been little loot from Matsumoto Yamaga's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the J2-League. Matsumoto Yamaga only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.

Matsumoto play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Blaublitz Akita.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Mito Hollyhock.

A new game in only four days for Matsumoto, the J2-League home match versus Ehime. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Matsumoto rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 21 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Data for the preceeding eight meetings between these two contenders are: five wins for Gamba, three draws and zero wins for Matsumoto Yamaga. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
