Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

As mentioned above, most games between these two teams end with huge scorelines and it happened three times out of four this season. The fourth game had only two goals.

Kashima are in their worst form of the season but Gamba Osaka are one of their favorite opponents and they beat them on multiple occasions over the past years, including four times this season.

Correct Score Prediction: 3:2 to Kashima Antlers

Gamba Osaka won their last two games in the league, including one against the future champions.
