📋 Team News: Gamba Osaka
The Gamba Osaka boss Daniel Poyatos does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this game owing to a completely healthy squad to choose from.
It seems likely that Gamba Osaka may well line up in a 4-1-2-3 system for this one featuring Masaaki Higashiguchi, Riku Handa, Shota Fukuoka, Yota Sato, Keisuke Kurokawa, Neta Lavi, Shu Kurata, Dawhan, Juan, Issam Jebali and Hideki Ishige.
ℹ️ Team News: Yokohama F. Marinos
Yokohama F. Marinos manager Kevin Muscat has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ryotaro Tsunoda (Metatarsal Fracture) and Ryuta Koike (Fractured Kneecap) will not be playing here.
It’s our belief that Marinos seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-1-3 system, starting the game with Hiroki Iikura, Ken Matsubara, Shinnosuke Hatanaka, Eduardo, Katsuya Nagato, Takuya Kida, Kota Watanabe, Takuma Nishimura, Yan, Anderson Lopes and Jose Elber.
💡 Prediction
We’re thinking that Gamba Osaka have it in them to breach the defence of this Yokohama F. Marinos lineup, but one goal is unlikely to prevent defeat.
We therefore reckon that it will be a 1-2 victory for Yokohama F. Marinos when all is said and done. Could easily go either way, this.
