Gamba Osaka form and stats
With 1 J-League win, 3 draws and 3 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 Algaba and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Gamba followers got no joy from their last game, a Emperor Cup duel also played here at Nishigaoka National Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Kochi United.
Before that match, a J-League win away at Avispa Fukuoka.This is expected to be a close game, with Gamba Osaka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gamba Osaka as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Gamba Osaka has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Gamba Osaka are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded.
Tokyo form and stats
Tokyo have only collected 6 points from their away games in the J-League, after 1-3-5 (9 played).
The followers enjoyed Tokyo's previous game versus Fukushima United, a Emperor Cup win (3-1) played at home.
A loss against Yokohama F. Marinos was the result prior to that, in a J-League home game.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tokyo playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 4 Tokyo wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Take note that 8 of this club's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tokyo as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Tokyo have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
