Gamba Osaka, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Gamba Osaka and Kashiwa Reysol in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Kashiwa Reysol managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Daniel Poyatos will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 4 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
Gamba will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Sagan Tosu, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 5-1 home mauling at the hands of Shonan Bellmare, the Sagan Tosu team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Shonan Bellmare who had 19 attempts and 12 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 14 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Yuki Horigome will be looking to cause Gamba Osaka some problems having scored 2 goals in Sagan Tosu's last 6 away games in the league.
After a good 0-3 win for Sagan Tosu in this pair's last league encounter, Gamba Osaka will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Playing at home, Gamba have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sagan.

With no real injury worries, Gamba manager Daniel Poyatos will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sagan manager Kenta Kawai has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
