With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second J3-League game of the season. Gamba Osaka U23 look forward to welcoming Giravanz Kitakyushu in front of their home support.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
