Gamba Osaka, Recent FormDaniel Poyatos will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-1 away thrashing at the hands of Shonan Bellmare. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Shonan Bellmare managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Despite scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Kawasaki Frontale, Recent FormKawasaki Frontale will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 4-3 winners in their away fixture against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. In that game they recorded 44 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 22 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Tōru Oniki will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It's been a mixed run of form for Kawasaki recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
