Gamba Osaka v Sanfrecce Hiroshima : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 8th Dec, 05:00 BST, Nishigaoka National Stadium, Tokyo

Home advantage is often beneficial in the J-League, and Daniel Poyatos Algaba’s Gamba Osaka will have the blessing of it on Sunday morning. Michael Skibbe’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima are their opponents at the Nishigaoka National Stadium. Form, head to head (H2H) stats, predictions and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are all published below. Helping our users place smart bets is what we do best. Here we've gone for , but why not flip through the tabs and find the one you like best?


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but good reason to think Gamba Osaka and Hiroshima will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Daniel Poyatos Algaba or Michael Skibbe has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 78% probability.
