Gamba Osaka will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Urawa Red Diamonds.  During that encounter they had 37% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 14 shots on goal.  

Manager Daniel Poyatos will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.  

It's been a mixed run of form for Gamba recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.

The Kashima Antlers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sagan Tosu recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat.  They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sagan Tosu's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost.  They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.  

Yuma Suzuki will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Kashima Antlers.
