Gamba Osaka vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima Prediction: We Can Only Depend On Gamba’s Goal Drive

Gamba Osaka vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Prediction for the Match on May 11, 2025

Prediction for the J League 1 game between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Gamba Osaka, two teams emerging from their shells after truncating winless streaks. While the visitors are bent on achieving a winning hat-trick, the hosts hope for a quadruple, after winning three consecutive games.

Victory will mean a lot to both sides, tied in the sixth and fifth spots, respectively. A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

🏠 Gamba Osaka: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: DLWWW

The Osaka Blue-blacks made their fans happy last week in the 1-0 victory over ex-league leaders Urawa Reds, who lost their top seat following the encounter. In the game that saw the side begin the match with pressure, they eventually clocked one eight minutes into the second half, courtesy of Yamashita’s header. The winnoripelled them to the spot, with the team looking to climb further upon a victory against Hiroshima.

Gamba Osaka: Lineup

With four attacking men upfront, Dani Poyatos, Head Coach to Gamamba Osaka, may have cracked the code with this set of players who have learnt to attack in counter situations with four men on the go. The techniques played fine in the last three games, especially against the Reds of Urawa, who eventually cracked after a goalless spell in the first half. Pouatos hopes to keep the same lineup in this contest. They are:

🔖 Predicted Lineup(4-2-1-3): Nishikawa, Ishihara-Boza-Hölbraten-Naganuma, Matsumoto-Yasui, Kanako-Watanabe-Sako

👤 Head Coach: Dani Poyatos

🏠 Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: LLLWW

For the Hiroshima boys, nothing is promised despite the recent winning brace against two of their recent opponents. Last week, the attack setup played averagely against Shonan Bellmare and managed to secure a definitive penalty in the early stages. SanFrecce, however, will be bold to approach the Suita City grounds, given that they have a good degree of familiarity on the turf. Sho Sasaki was on fire last week, with the defence and midfield stepping up their game to secure the slim 1-0 lead.

Hiroshima's latest six-point accumulation has propelled them to the fifth spot, toed at the hops with their current opponents. Victory is crucial for the visiting outfit if they intend to move up the ladder.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Lineup

Satoshi Yamaguchi will be making a huge error if he plays the way he did last week against weak-spined Shonan. He musts revisit his board and adjust attacking changes if he is to produce decency against Gamba Osaka.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Osako, Sasaki-Araki-Shiotani, Higashi-Kawabe-Tanaka-Nakano, Kato-Nakamura, Germain.

👤 Head Coach: Satoshi Yamaguchi
