Gamba Osaka has been in fantastic form of late, with their statistics and their results showing serious upward momentum. That momentum will be put to the test away at V-Varen Nagasaki, but our analysts are confident they can score the big away win.

👉 Our prediction is: Gamba Osaka to win the 1st half

Gamba Osaka is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts V-Varen Nagasaki a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Gamba Osaka to win the first half.
