Avispa Fukuoka and Gamba Osaka meet in completely different conditions. The hosts have just lost 0-3 in their latest league match, while the visitors also drew 2-2 away in their last league game, but before that had just crushed their cup opponent 5-0. Avispa Fukuoka have not won in the league for two matches in a row, but their season stats show 11 scored and 16 conceded in 10 matches. Gamba Osaka have drawn more than they have won, scoring 10 and conceding 18 in 10 matches, and have not won away at all this season. This game is likely to be a gradual, cagey affair. Neither team is in form to open up and attack from the start. If Avispa Fukuoka score first, Gamba Osaka will have to open up and trade blows, which will give the hosts space to counter. But if the visitors take the lead, the game will become even more stifling and the hosts will have to risk pushing high.
