Osaka's Gamba score came naturally

On Saturday evening, there will be a good show in Nippon Professional Football League. Osaka Flying Football will play against Yokohama F. Marinos at home. The Yokohama Marinos' strength has declined significantly this season. They are currently ranked in the lower middle reaches and have been in a losing streak recently. They are doomed in this away game. 


Compared with last season, when they were still struggling to secure the group, Osaka Flying Football has completely changed this season. After 21 rounds, they recorded 11 wins, 5 losses and 5 losses. They are ranked in the top 3 with 38 points. They are 5 points behind Machida Zevia, the leader. Osaka Feijia definitely has hope of competing for the championship. However, it should be noted that Osaka Hikka has encountered tough battles in the past two rounds, against Kashima Antlers and Machida Zevia, the top two players in the standings. Osaka Hikka can only gain 1 and 1 losses. They are in urgent need of a victory to return. Get on track. Fortunately, Osaka Hikka is good at playing at home this season, winning 7 of 10 home games, with a winning rate of 70%. During the period, the offense is guaranteed. Usami Takashi scored 4 goals alone. I believe that under his leadership, Osaka Hikka will be better. The foot can take all 3 points at home. In terms of players, defender Riku Handa is out, while defender Keisuke Saka and forward Ryotaro Shokino are avoiding the game due to injuries.

Yokohama F. Marinos has won the championship once in the past three seasons, and ranked second in the other two times. The team's competitiveness is self-evident. However, this season, Yokohama F. Marinos' performance is shocking. After 21 rounds, they only have 26 points and are ranked 12th. There is no hope for the championship. Striving for the top is undoubtedly a more practical goal. What's more unfavorable is that Yokohama F. Marinos is not in good shape recently. After losing to Tosu Vortis in the last round, the former suffered a three-game losing streak in the league. During this period, the offense and defense were unbalanced. The performance of scoring less than 1 goal per game and conceding nearly 2 goals per game is indeed disappointing. This time, Yokohama F. Marinos will have to accept the fate of losing when they visit Osaka Gamba, who is good at playing at home. In terms of lineup, midfielder Kenta Inoue is absent due to injury.
