Gamba Osaka form and stats
With 3 J-League wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Gamba Osaka are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Gamba Osaka, their manager Matsuda and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Gamba fans got no joy from their last match, also played here: A 0-3 defeat against Sagan Tosu (placed 7th). The forward Suzuki outperformed all others in that match and got a match rating of 6.93 out of 10. Suzuki hit two key passes.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Avispa Fukuoka with a 1-0 scoreline.Gamba Osaka are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Gamba defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Tokyo form and stats
5 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses. That’s the product of Tokyo playing as the away team in the J-League this season. Tokyo has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Tokyo's last game was the home draw against Yokohama F. Marinos (2-2). An inspired comeback made the scores level in Tokyo's duel with Yokohama F. Marinos. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Tsukagawa found the equalizer. Midfielder Tsukagawa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.33. Tsukagawa scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).
Before that one, a nice away victory 6-3 at Kashiwa Reysol.Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this side's 12 latest league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.
The schedule is very tough for Tokyo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A J-League game at Vissel Kobe is waiting in only four days.
Tokyo find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Tokyo rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.
