Gamba Osaka form and stats

Gamba Osaka, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in J-League, have collected 2 points from their J-League home games so far after 0-2-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Gamba Osaka with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Cerezo Osaka game, 25 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Stress levels are on the rise for Gamba's attacking players as they have now played 226 minutes without scoring in a league game. K. Ichimi was their last goal scorer.

Gamba lost their last game at Tokyo (placed 11th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Midfield player Yosuke Ideguchi got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, the max score being 10. Ideguchi hit two key passes and had 43 successful passes (of 48 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Urawa Reds (0-3).

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

The lack of attacking qualities in Gamba means that they have only scored 1 goal in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Gamba Osaka have conceded 7 goals.

Tokushima Vortis form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their J-League travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

The Tokushima goalkeeper Naoto Kamifukumoto is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 192 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Tokushima's last game was the home draw against Nagoya Grampus (0-0). Midfielder Ken Iwao was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.12. Iwao hit three key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 56 total).

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Vissel Kobe.

A new game in only three days for Tokushima, the J-League home match versus Shonan Bellmare. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tokushima Vortis as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Tokushima in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's five Gamba victories, one draw and zero Tokushima Vortis wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
