Gamba Osaka vs Kashima Antlers Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Japan- J. League on Saturday, 24 June 2023.
Gamba Osaka had an unimpressive start to this season and maintained the same further. They are seen outside the top half in the standings mostly. However, the team won the last three matches in a row to display a positive pick-up in form.
Going on, they will play host to a nine-match unbeaten Kashima Antlers on Saturday. This match-up wont be an easy task for the hosts as their rivals have been enjoying an impressive form for the past several months.
Kashima Antlers have been the dominant force in the recent history of this match-up. They are on an eight-match unbeaten streak at the moment and won seven of those.
Kashima netted in a total of 8 goals in the last five clashes against Gamba Osaka at this stadium. They were unbeaten in four of those five clashes too.

Moreover, the h2h recordings and the overall stats are in favor of Kashima. Thus, we expect a win for Kashima Antlers on Saturday.
More than 55% of the matches played by Kashima Antlers had goals under 2.5 ft. Since we expect a win for them, our bet wont be on the over 2.5 goals option.
Kashima Antlers have a strong defensive line which have not leaked goals even at one per game. Moreover, Kashima sealed a clean sheet win over Osaka in the past three h2h clashes. Thus, goals are unlikely to come from both ends.
