Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that JEF United and Gamba Osaka will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Yoshiyuki Kobayashi or has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 80% probability.
