Gamba Osaka U23 are welcoming Kamatamare Sanuki for another important game after their 0-2 result against 6th-placed Imabari.
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.

Gamba are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 211 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Ise).
No payout for Gamba in their previous match, an away game at Imabari that ended in defeat 0-2. In the match before that, Gamba hosted Fukushima United and drew the game 0-0.
A decent goal production from Gamba in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
