Sagan Tosu, Recent FormThe Sagan Tosu squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Kashima Antlers, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Kashima Antlers' tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Goalscorer Yuji Ono will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sagan Tosu.
Gamba Osaka, Recent FormGamba Osaka will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Shonan Bellmare. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Shonan Bellmare who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Daniel Poyatos will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Juan Alano will be looking to cause Sagan Tosu some problems having scored 3 goals in Gamba Osaka's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
From their past 4 away matches in the league against Sagan, Nerazzurri have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
In their last 3 league meetings, Gamba have failed to record a victory against Sagan.
In front of goal, Takashi Usami has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Gamba against Sagan at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Gamba manager Daniel Poyatos has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
