Gamba Osaka, Recent FormThe Gamba Osaka squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Sanfrecce Hiroshima's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 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 9 and seen valuable points lost. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Yokohama F. Marinos in their last league game, Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 36 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Mihailo Petrović will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings.
There will be mixed feelings from Consa, having been undefeated in their last 6 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, Ryota Aoki will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 1-0 win for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.
