Venue: Suita City Football Stadium (40322 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 14th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gamba Osaka and Shonan Bellmare.

Gamba Osaka form and stats

Gamba Osaka's struggle is real here at Suita City Football Stadium with only 9 points collected from 9 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-3-4.

Gamba Osaka's last game was hosting Shonan Bellmare and winning 1-0. In the game before, an away victory in the Nabisco Cup match versus V-Varen Nagasaki with a 4-1 scoreline.

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 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 3.

The Gamba Osaka fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Gamba Osaka have conceded 13 in these home matches.

Shonan Bellmare form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Shonan Bellmare who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Consadole Sapporo was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Shonan Bellmare's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Shonan Bellmare play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Gamba Osaka. A 0-2 defeat away at Sanfrecce Hiroshima before that.
