Holding a huge advantage when winning on
Nagoya Gramprus' field, Sanfrecce Hiroshima lost to this opponent in the second
leg and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Japanese Federation Cup playground.
Not only that, it also caused this team to break a streak of 10 consecutive
wins on the domestic playground. This could be a good thing for them so they
can return to the ground and look forward to the race for the national
championship and the Emperor's Cup.
On the opposite field, Gamba Osaka is in
decline in recent times. Specifically, in addition to the win against Shonan
Bellmare at the Emperor's Cup playground, this team drew 4 and lost 1 at the
National Championship playground. That left them out of breath in the race to
reach the Top 3 with 4 points less. Therefore, Gamba Osaka needs to return to
its familiar winning streak, thereby aiming for the Emperor's Cup championship
and winning tickets to the Asian Cup C1 after many years of waiting.
---Prediction---
Gamba Osaka +0.5
