Match announcement
Albirex Niigata
JapanCurrent form
Albirex Niigata are 16th in the league table, six points ahead of 18th-placed Jubilo Iwata. With just two games left before the season finale, it safe to say the hosts are unlikely to be relegated from the top league. The hosts recently had a chance to win the J. League Cup trophy, but lost to Nagoya on penalties in the final. After that, the Niigata club tied with Kashiwa (1:1) in the league match. It safe to say the players are now just waiting for a vacation.

Goalkeeper Haruki Nishimura will not play in the match due to an elbow injury.

Gamba Osaka
JapanCurrent form
Gamba Osaka is fourth in the league table and is only three points behind the top three. The visitors also had a chance for a trophy this year and recently played in the Emperor Cup final, where they failed to beat the championship leader, Vissel Kobe (0:1). The only hope left is for J. League medals. In the last rounds, the Osaka club managed to beat first Nagoya Grampus (3:2) and then Jubilo Iwata (4:3) in high-scoring matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visiting team will be without Daichi Hayashi, Genta Miura and Takashi Usami due to injuries. Neta Lavi participation is in doubt.

4.50Tip and bets
The championship is entering the home stretch and the visitors are in the midst of a battle for bronze medals. In the upcoming match, the club from Osaka will do everything to win against one of the outsiders. The hosts already have little need this season, so they will not be particularly motivated for this match. Most likely, Gamba Osaka will be able to achieve their goal and take three points from Niigata.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Gamba Osaka for 2.00
Bet on total
At the end of the season, the rivals began to play attacking football, so their matches in the last rounds are extremely spectacular. Most likely, the rivals will bet on the attack this time and will reveal the strongest in an open confrontation. It is worth betting on a high total.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 2.05
Bet on corners
We don't think anyone will sit back in defense in this match, and the attacking style of play should lead to a large number of corner kicks. That what we'll bet on.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.87
