It's early days in the J-League and both Gamba Osaka and Oita Trinita are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Oita Trinita have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Gamba Osaka form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first J-League game of the season here at Suita City Football Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses from Gamba Osaka's 17 home games.
It's back home for Gamba Osaka, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Shimizu S-Pulse away with the result 2-1. K. Watanabe and K. Onose found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Nagoya Grampus that finished 2-2.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of T. Miyamoto when K. Watanabe scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.
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 six games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Gamba as they have a new game in only four days, a J-League match thankfully also at home. Sanfrecce Hiroshima are visiting.
Gamba Osaka has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Oita Trinita form and stats
Things could have gone better for Oita Trinita in their J-League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Trinita played 1-1 against Vissel Kobe in their previous match. Preceding that game was the away victory against Sanfrecce Hiroshima with the score of 2-1.
We have checked recent matches where Trinita have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were three victories, four draws and five defeats.
A new game in only four days for Oita Trinita, the J-League home match versus Nagoya Grampus. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Oita Trinita has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Gamba five wins, one draw and Oita Trinita four victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
