Gamba vs Marinos Match Analysis and Prediction
Gamba (J1 League 3rd place)
Gamba has shown strong defense and counter-attacks this season. Although they were weak against Marinos, the opponent's defense coverage on counter-attacks has recently deteriorated. Utilizing a resource like Welinton to target the opponent's defense while capitalizing on speed could be effective.
Absentees
Handa (DF / Grade A), Miura (DF / Grade B), Yamada (MF / Grade A)
Marinos (J1 League 12th place)
Marinos have shown vulnerability when conceding the first goal and trying to solidify the center. The lack of depth in the defense exacerbates this issue, which has worsened with Watanabe's injury.
