Cerezo Osaka vs Gamba Osaka: Top Free Betting Tips

We have one of the biggest derbies in Japan this weekend and this game promises to be incredible as usual.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Usually, you would expect a lot of goals in a derby but the matches between these two teams often end with few. For example, they played twice already this season and one of the matches had 5 goals but then the second one was a 0:0 draw. Why do we expect an under here? Gamba Osaka are the team with the fewest goals on the road this season – their goal difference after 6 games is 5:5 and they haven't had a single over 2.5 to date.

Double Chance – Draw or Gamba Osaka

For some weird reason, Cerezo Osaka have been placed as the massive favorite to win this game. It is true that they won in the first instance with 2:3 but the games between these two teams are always competitive. We find a lot of value in the double chance here and we prefer to try a small stake on that because of that value. This game could go in either direction.

Alternative Corners – Under 10

Cerezo and Gamba Osaka have identical corner stats after 13 games this season – both sides have had an average of 8.7 corners per game in their matches to date. Overall, the corners depend on how the teams will play in this match – the first game this season had 12 but that was a match with 100% offense and no defense. Then the second one with Gamba on the road had only 4 corners. We expect a similar match to the second fixture.

Cerezo Osaka Preview

Cerezo Osaka have never been a true contender in the league but this season has – to date – been much better than the previous campaign. Overall, last year, they finished 12th and had a negative goal difference – 47:51. We do not expect much from the team this season either, they weren't too active in the transfer market and their level is about the same.

Gamba Osaka Preview

Gamba Osaka finished the previous season right below Cerezo Osaka – at 13th place and their stats were actually among the worst in the entire league. The team managed to score only 33 goals, which was the 3rd worst attack in the league. Their goal difference was 33:49. This year has been slightly better but we do not have high expectations for them either.
