In their last J1 League match at home, Gamba Osaka beat Urawa Red Diamonds (4:3). The match stats were as follows (Gamba Osaka vs Urawa Red Diamonds):
- possession: 61% vs 39%;
- corners: 5 vs 6;

Including friendly matches, Gamba's winning streak has reached three games. The level of opposition for the Japanese club was decent - Salzburg (3:0) and Prague's Sparta (0:3). On the downside, their form is far from optimal, as the team only started playing official matches a week ago. And now, straight away, a tough away game. Either way, since the start of July, across four matches, the Osaka side have scored 13 goals and conceded only six.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Gamba Osaka will surely take note after the high-scoring shootout in their last match. That is no way to start an official season. The AFC Champions League group stage is at stake, along with the prestige, respect and money that come with it. Taking risks away from home is definitely not the way to go. The match will in all likelihood be played in a closed format. Taking into account that Gangwon have scored no more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 matches in the competition, the optimal bet is Gangwon individual total under 1.5. Score prediction - 1:1 after full time.
