Command Analysis

Gamba Osaka

Current form

Gamba Osaka failed to fight for the J. League championship, but reached the final of the Japan Cup. There the team played against the leader of the J. League, Vissel Kobe. Unfortunately, the club from Osaka failed to take the trophy - the match was lost with a score of 0:1. They will not be able to take the championship medals either - Machida Zelvia, in third place, is ahead of the hosts by three points and has a much more favorable goal difference. In the last round, the guests managed to win against Albirex Niigata (1:0).

Genta Miura and Takashi Usami will be out due to injuries, while Neta Lavi is questionable.

Interesting trends for betting

The club won two games in a row at home

Estimated lineup: Ishimori - Davhan, Fukuoka, Handa, Kurata, Kurokawa, Yamada, Yamashita, Nakatani, Suzuki, Sakamoto

Sanfrecce Hiroshima

Current form

Hiroshima continues to fight for the championship, but is still behind the current champion, Vissel Kobe. The hosts are one point behind and still have a chance to overtake their competitor, but for this they need to count on them to slip up. The defeats to Kyoto (0:1) and Urawa (0:3) in recent rounds have seriously spoiled their championship prospects. After that, they managed to crush Sapporo on their home field (5:1). In the Champions League 2, Hiroshima tied with Kaya (1:1) and beat Eastern at home (4:1).

Diego Vieira and Taiichi Yamasaki are out with injuries, while Ezequiel is in doubt.

Interesting trends for betting

The visitors won two consecutive crushing victories
The team has suffered only one defeat in its last five matches.

Estimated lineup: Osako - Nakano, Araki, Sasaki - Arai, Kawabe, Shiotani, Higashi - Matsumoto, Arslan - Kato

Tip and bets

TipHiroshima victory

1.88

The visitors need a win, only then will the team have a chance to win the championship. The hosts can no longer claim medals, so their motivation will be significantly lower. We believe that Hiroshima will still be able to score three points on moral and volitional qualities and will wait for the results of parallel matches.

Our prediction is a Hiroshima win at 1.88

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal over 2.5 goals

1.83

Bet on total

The visitors are set only for victory, so they need to attack from the very first minutes. The hosts will not sit in defense either, after all, the club from Osaka is not used to sitting in defense. Most likely, we will see at least three goals scored by these teams.

Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.83

Bet on the first half

We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.

Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.20

Will the prediction win?
