Our Kashima Antlers vs Gamba Osaka Prediction
Both teams have been in great form, and there's nothing to separate them. Gamba Osaka have been the better side on paper, but this is also the same team that was defeated 1-0 at home in the reverse fixture, meaning there are risks involved when it comes to picking a winner in the full-time market.
However, an entertaining affair is undoubtedly on the cards. Kashima has been a threat in the final third. Their defense, however, has not been convincing, conceding in seven of their last eight competitive matches. Our Kashima Antlers vs Gamba Osaka prediction: both teams to score.
