The AFC Champions League Elite is back in action, and in this match both teams need points to keep their campaign in the competition on track. Newcastle Jets were just thrashed in this competition in the middle of last month, while Gamba Osaka also just thrashed their opponents at home in the same competition. Newcastle Jets came through the closing stretch of their league season without winning a single game, and a defence that used to be solid has started to leak. As for Gamba Osaka, their form in their own league has not been great either, but in this cup they just scored as many as 4 goals, so the visitors' attack is the more dangerous side. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both teams have attacks that can score, and if either side gets the opening goal, the game will open up even more. The first half may still be close, but the second half should clearly produce more goal-scoring chances.
