J-League, played Saturday, July 20th, 2024
Here is our Gamba Osaka v Shonan Bellmare tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Gamba Osaka home win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Gamba Osaka still remain in second place in the J-League standings despite picking up a second win on the trot following a solid 2-0 win away from home at Sagan Tosu and the hosts still trail the league leaders, Machida Zelvia, by a five-point margin heading into this upcoming clash, while Shonan Bellmare also picked up a second win on the trot last time out when they registered a comprehensive 5-0 rout of Jubilo Iwata at home.
Gamba Osaka bring an encouraging sequence of results into this upcoming home fixture at their Panasonic Stadium Suita having been dealt just the single defeat within their last 12 games overall, picking up nine wins in the process and losing 3-1 at home to their title rivals Machida Zelvia.
Daniel Algaba's side are therefore enjoying a successful run of results in the Japanese top flight and five of these recently collected nine wins have also been achieved on home soil at their Panasonic Stadium Suita by way of victories gained over Cerezo Osaka, Kawasaki Frontale, Kashiwa Reysol, Vissel Kobe and Yokohama F. Marinos, the latter being a 4-0 destruction of their opponents.
In addition, Gamba Osaka have lost just twice in their last 11 home games, picking up eight wins along the way.
Shonan Bellmare still occupy a place in the bottom three of the J-League table and therefore in the relegation zone despite making it two wins on the the trot with a resounding 5-0 home win against Jubilo Iwata which followed a previously impressive 3-2 win away from home at Urawa Reds.
However, the main reason Shonan Bellmare still find themselves in the relegation spots is due to the fact that the visitors had failed to win any of their preceding six games in the domestic top flight which included slipping to four defeats within this period.
Losses to Jubilo Iwata, Gamba Osaka (at home), FC Tokyo and Kyoto Sanga suggest this upcoming trip to the Panasonic Stadium Suita could be another tough assignment for Satoshi Yamaguchi's side as the bigger picture shows Shonan Bellmare have managed to capture just four wins from their last 21 games overall in the J-League.
Three of these four wins were achieved on home soil at their Lemon Gas Stadium Hiratsuka while results away from home have been poor in recent times; just one win in their last 11 outings on the road tells its own story.
