In that match, Gamba Osaka had 49% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Gamba Osaka was Dawhan (71'). At the other end, Kashiwa Reysol had 20 attempts on goal with 4 on target.

From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in 6 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a loser. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will be sustained here.
