Gamba Osaka vs Tokyo Prediction and Betting Tips | June 22nd 2025
Gamba Osaka will host Tokyo at the Panasonic Stadium Suita on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Japanese J1 League campaign. The home side have lost their way in their league assignments of late and have rapidly fallen down the league standings, now sitting in 12th place with 25 points.
They played out a goalless draw against Shimizu S-Pulse in their last league outing but returned to winning ways in the domestic cup days later, picking up a 2-1 comeback victory over fourth-tier outfit Veertien Mie to advance to the third round of the Emperor's Cup.
Tokyo have also been poor in their league duties of late. They played out a 2-2 draw against Cerezo Osaka in their last league game, with Marcelo Ryan scoring an early opener and a late equalizer to ensure Tokyo picked up a point in front of their home fans.
The visitors sit 17th in the J1 League standings with just 20 points from 19 matches, and they will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Sunday.
