Parceiro Nagano form and stats
Perfect J3-League season at home so far for Parceiro Nagano, who have the the best goal difference (+6) at home in J3-League, 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Parceiro manager Y. Yokoyama and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Vanraure Hachinohe (placed 12th) in the J3-League. Before that, Parceiro Nagano had a home game versus YSCC which ended with a victory 4-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Parceiro's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
Goals are plentiful at Minami Nagano Sports Park Stadium in the league this season as Parceiro Nagano has scored 9 goals here in 3 home games. Parceiro Nagano have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Gamba Osaka U23 form and stats
Gamba Osaka U23 are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J3-League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). It's looking increasingly bleak for Gamba who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Cerezo Osaka U23 was the last time a defeat was avoided. Gamba has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Gamba have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. S. Toyama was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J3-League home defeat versus Imabari with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gifu wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
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.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Gamba have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. The Gamba Osaka U23 manager H. Morishita has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Parceiro Nagano five wins, two draws and Gamba Osaka U23 one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Parceiro Nagano missing players
