Cerezo Osaka

Form: DWLLL

It was definitely a trying period for Cerezo Osaka, who went two months without pi♎cking up a win in Japan's top flight. During this period, they recorded five losses and three draws while conceding 17 goals in the process.

However, there have been signs of improvement as the Cherry Blossoms have avoided defeat in their last two matches (W1, D1). Their most recent match thwarted their chances of making it two wins on the bounce as they were held to a goalless draw at home against Kashiwa Reysol, l♚eaving them in 9th place in the standings and eight points adrift of fourth-placed Kashima Antlers.

Gamba Osaka

Form: DDLDD

For a certain period, Gamba Osaka was a team involved in this seaso💛n's title race. However, a drastic decline i𒁏n form has left them 12 points behind the top spot and they can now only dream of a fourth-place finish, which will be a great achievement as it would be their best finish to date since 2020.

The Black-and-Blues have been plagued by inconsistency in the league as they are without a win in their last eight matches (D6, L2) since a 2-0 away win over Sagan Tosu on July 14th. Away from home, they've been unassailable, avoiding defeat in their last ni♈ne games (D5, W4). They will be hoping to use this momentum to their advantage and return to winning ways.
