On the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by FC Tokyo, Gamba Osaka manager Daniel Poyatos will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to FC Tokyo, who had 17 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

Poyatos\ will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 5 goals scored.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 13 of their 14 played at Panasonic Stadium Suita this season.  

Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Panasonic Stadium Suita, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.

The Nagoya Grampus squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  They came away from that fixture with a 46% share of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  

Nagoya Grampus will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.  

Kasper Junker will be hoping to create problems for Gamba Osaka in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Nagoya Grampus.
