Gamba Osaka Scoring First
👉 Our prediction is: Shimizu S-Pulse to score first
It will be a tough task for Shimizu S-Pulse to topple Gamba Osaka, who have been a better side overall this season. But with the support of the home crowd will be a huge help to Shimizu S-Pulse in their bid to cause an upset.
