- Gamba Osaka have the most conceded goals in the first half (10) in J-League
- Yokohama have the most conceded goals (22) in J-League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Gamba Osaka form and stats
When playing at home in the J-League, Gamba Osaka have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games. When Gamba Osaka hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Gamba Osaka, Kashima Antlers, Kashiwa Reysol, Kawasaki Frontale and Sagan Tosu), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
The club members hope that Gamba Osaka will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Nabisco Cup fixture against Tokyo.
Prior to that, an away loss at Kyoto Sanga in the J-League.Gamba Osaka have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Expo '70 Commemorative Stadium with 6 goals in 4 league matches. 5 goals have been conceded. Gamba has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Yokohama form and stats
The J-League season is young and Yokohama have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Yokohama are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Yokohama have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 225 minutes ago. Ogawa was the goal scorer.
This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Nabisco Cup home loss versus Nagoya Grampus with 0-2 on the scoreboard.
A 0-3 loss hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Yokohama playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
There are big problems for the Yokohama defense as they have conceded 10 goals in 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
Data for the last eight meetings featuring these two squads are: four wins for Gamba Osaka, three draws and one win for Yokohama. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
