Gamba Osaka vs. Urawa Red Diamonds Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Gamba Osaka and Urawa Red Diamonds, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Panasonic Stadium Suita in Suita-shi.
Gamba Osaka, Recent Form
Gamba Osaka were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Avispa Fukuoka. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Avispa Fukuoka who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Nerazzurri, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've drawn their last 4.
Urawa Red Diamonds, Recent Form
Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 2-2 draw against Machida Zelvia will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Urawa Red Diamonds. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Machida Zelvia, who managed 24 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 4 games on the road, the Reds travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
On an individual basis, Thiago Santana will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Urawa Red Diamonds' last 6 league games.
Gamba Osaka vs. Urawa Red Diamonds Head to head
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-1 win for Gamba Osaka.
Goals should be on the cards for Gamba in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Reds in their last 6 meetings together. When Urawa Reds visit Nerazzurri in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the league, Gamba has had a poor run at home against Urawa Reds, being unable to secure a win from any of their last 7 meetings at Panasonic Stadium Suita.
