Shimizu S-Pulse: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LDLWL

The Shizuoka side have wriggled through the last five games to accumulate three losses, one stalemate and one victory. 

At home, they have been pretty decent, with two wins (3-1 v Fukuoka, 3-2 v Vissel), one stalemate (2-2 v Machida Zelvia) and one loss (0-3 v Nagoya Grampus) in the last four games. They got an eventual pass against Matsumoto in the 4-0 Emperor Cup game last week. 

The irony of Shimizu S Pulse league campaign is that they have enough quality to escape the bottom region, but not enough to maintain excellence. As such they tend to struggle when faced with properly coordinated teams. 

Shimizu S-Pulse: Lineup

Team: Although much credit cannot be given to this team on their away performance, slight nods can be given on this home exhibition. The team are keen on reducing their defensive porosity at home, playing to avoid losses if not to eventually win. 

Player: Collective efforts are one of the few tactics deployed by the team, with no one holding much over the other. Kitagawa is also sure to slot balls home whenever the opportunity comes knocking.

 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Oki, Yamahara-Sumiyoshi-Takahashi-Takagi, Bueno- Uno, Capixaba-Inui-Matsuzaki, Kitagawa.

Head Coach: Tadahiro Akiba

Out: Nil

The unpredictable BlueBlacks, who will wear white in this contest since they play away form

Home, will push a narrative here, in efforts to compensate their fans for the 1-0 slip-up against the Kashima Antlers. Gamba Osaka are on the the most difficult teams for criticism and punditry. 

They have beaten stronger teams and lost against weaker teams.

At the moment, Dani Poyatos will still have to return to the drawing board and formulate definitive approaches - if he wants to escape the rigors of the midtable.

Gamba Osaka: Lineup

Team: Gamba Osaka are a solid team. A bit clumsy in defense but what they suffer in defense, they cover for in the attack and other areas.

Player: Usami remains the eye of the camera, his sudden poaching quality while also pushing a s a dummy runner has helped his side tremendously, especially against Kawasaki where they held the 2-2 stalemate.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Ichimori, Kurokawa-Fukuoka-Nakatani-Handa, Suzuki-Lavi, Lano-Mitsuts-Yamashita, Usami

Head Coach: Dani Poyatos

Out: Nil
