Gamba Osaka Shimizu S-Pulse betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 18^th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 6 wins, 7 draws and 20 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Kashima Antlers, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Vegalta Sendai, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 10 points in away matches and 15 at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 35 conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 35 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Shimizu S‑Pulse has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 14 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 20 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The team arrive for this last round as the competition's last-placed and will have a great challenge ahead. They will face one of the best teams in the competition, who will seek the goal at all times. For Shimizu, it will remain to set up a defensive barrier, so as not to be humiliated again with a trashing, something common in the team's campaign.
