Pohang Steelers v Gamba Osaka prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Pohang Steelers and 1.7 from Gamba Osaka, so Gamba Osaka come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Gamba Osaka come into this on three straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Gamba Osaka or Draw. This covers Gamba Osaka or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.29, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
