There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Gamba Osaka leading Yokohama by 11 points.
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 and Yokohama.
Gamba Osaka form and stats
2-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Gamba Osaka so far this season.
Gamba Osaka manager T. Miyamoto and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Oita Trinita (placed 14th) in the Nabisco Cup. Preceding that match was a J-League defeat to Kawasaki Frontale (0-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Gamba Osaka as they are travelling to their away game against Shonan Bellmare in the Nabisco Cup. That match is four days after this one.
Gamba are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. On the other hand, Gamba have conceded 4 goals.
Yokohama form and stats
Things could have gone better for Yokohama in their J-League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. With the Yokohama losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Yokohama are looking to quickly end their 301 minutes long goal drought in the J-League.
Yokohama play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Sagan Tosu (placed 13th). The game before that, in the J-League, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
The end of the last match, against Sagan Tosu, was very satisfying as Y. Senuma scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Yokohama manager T. Shimotaira as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Consadole Sapporo.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Yokohama have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. For Yokohama, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: one win for Gamba Osaka, three draws and zero wins for Yokohama. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
