WLWLLL 📉

V-Varen Nagasaki will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 2-0 J1 100 Year Vision League defeat in their last game at the hands of Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

In that match, V-Varen Nagasaki managed 38% possession and 8 shots at goal with 1 on target. Sanfrecce Hiroshima had 22 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. Akito Suzuki (10') and Mutsuki Kato (52') scored for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

A common aspect of recent V-Varen Nagasaki games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

Taking their prior 6 clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have lost.

Gamba Osaka

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Avispa Fukuoka in J1 100 Year Vision League action, Gamba Osaka and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Gamba Osaka managed 68% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Gamba Osaka was Harumi Minamino (9'). Avispa Fukuoka got 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Yutaka Michiwaki (43') and Kazuki Fujimoto (45') scored for Avispa Fukuoka.

The numbers tell their own story, and Gamba Osaka have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 9 goals in total. In defence, Gamba Osaka just haven’t been too solid at all. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, however.

ℹ️ Team News: V-Varen Nagasaki

We think that VVN will possibly go for a 3-4-2-1 formation and select Masaaki Goto, Shunya Yoneda, Eduardo, Ikki Arai, Hijiri Onaga, Hotaru Yamaguchi, Riku Yamada, Masahiro Sekiguchi, Norman Campbell, Motoki Hasegawa and Thiago Santana.

ℹ️ Team News: Gamba Osaka

Gamba Osaka boss Jens Wissing has to currently contend with reduced team options. Takashi Usami (Hamstring injury), Riku Handa (Cruciate ligament injury), Shogo Sasaki (Hamstring injury), Asahi Uenaka (Meniscus damage), Yuya Yokoi (Cruciate ligament injury), Jun Ichimori (Finger injury) and Shota Fukuoka (Hamstring injury) can’t be considered.

We believe Gamba Osaka seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Rui Araki, Takeru Kishimoto, Ginjiro Ikegaya, Shinnosuke Nakatani, Ryo Hatsuse, Shuto Abe, Rin Mito, Ryotaro Meshino, Issam Jebali, Welton and Deniz Hummet.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that V-Varen Nagasaki will do well to get anything against this Gamba Osaka lineup who will likely score & stay on top.

We therefore fancy a good tussle with a 0-1 winning score for Gamba Osaka at the end of this one.

Looking forward to this.
