Matchday 10 in the J1 League kicks off with Shimizu S-Pulse taking on Gamba Osaka at IAI Stadium Nihondaira on Saturday. S-Pa are on a three-match win streak in the league, and we feel they will extend that record here, as discussed in our prediction below.
After only taking four points from their first six league games of the season, Shimizu S-Pulse have gotten themselves to 10th place in the table, having won three in a row ahead of this weekend.
S-Pa beat Mito on the road 2-1 last weekend but bowed out of the J-League Cup to Yokohama F. Marinos by the same scoreline in midweek. Still, they have won five of their last six games in all competitions.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last three home games this season, but they have not beaten their upcoming opponents at this venue since July 2017.
Meanwhile, Gamba Osaka have stuttered out the blocks this season, taking just six points from their nine games, which sees them enter MD10 down in 18th place in the standings.
Participating in the AFC Champions League Elite has played a major part in the Black-and-Blues’ slow start, and it will not get easier here, as they faced Newcastle Jets in Australia on Tuesday.
The visitors have yet to win an away game in the top flight this season (D2 L3) and failed to score in their last two outings ahead of this one.
