Gamba Osaka vs Kashima Antlers Lineups and Last Match
Osaka
Gamba Osaka were in good form in their last J-League match at home to Tokyo. A brace from Jebali put the home side 2-0 up at the interval and a goal from Handa on the hour mark wrapped up the 3pts for the home side. Tokyo pulled a goal back in stoppage-time but it was no more than a consolation strike.
Predicted Lineup – Higashiguchi (GK), Fukuoka, Handa, Kurokawa, Sato, Kurata, Lavi, Dawhan, Alano, Yamamoto & Jebali
Kashima
Kashima Antlers played host to Shonan Bellmare last time out where a solitary first-half goal proved enough to decide the destination of all 3pts. Higuchi scored the all-important goal for the hosts in the 43rd-minute and the Kashiwa Antlers never looked back from that point on.
Predicted Lineup – Hayakawa (GK), Ueda, Tsunemoto, Hirose, Sekigawa, Pituca, Fujii, Higuchi, Sano, Suzuki & Someno

Player to Watch: Yuma Suzuki
If any player is going to score the winning goal on Saturday then Suzuki would be top of their list.
The Kashiwa Antlers striker returned to the J-League in 2022 after a three-season spell in Belgium with Sint-Truiden in which he scored 26 league goals. In his last season with Kashima Anterls before the move to Europe, Suzuki scored 11 league goals and the Japan international already has 8-goals to his name in 2023 so should go on to record his best-ever total this season.
We're backing Suzuki to find the back of the net and lead Kashima Antlers to victory on Saturday against a Gamba Osaka side drifting in mid-table.
