The visiting Omiya Ardija side should be favourites in this visit to Gifu, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.

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 Gifu and Omiya Ardija.
