The J3-League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Gifu and Gamba Osaka U23 are placed 7th and 16th respectively.
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.
Gifu form and stats
Gifu must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three J3-League games here at Nagaragawa Stadium.
The Gifu supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Roasso Kumamoto in J3-League and win 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Gifu lost 0-2 at Cerezo Osaka U23's place.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Gifu matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, one draw and zero defeats (from one game).
There will be little rest for Gifu after this match as they are travelling to Kagoshima United for a J3-League game in only three days.
Gifu aren't scoring a lot here at Nagaragawa Stadium in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Gifu have only let in 1 goal at home.
Gamba Osaka U23 form and stats
Things could have gone better for Gamba Osaka U23 in their J3-League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right. Three has not been a lucky number for Gamba Osaka U23 as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Cerezo Osaka U23 match.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J3-League home defeat versus Kagoshima United with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Roasso Kumamoto's place.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Kagoshima United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
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 Gamba playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
After this away game Gamba return home for a J3-League game against Imabari. That game is only three sleeps after this.
3 goals so far away for Gamba Osaka U23, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
