- Gamba Osaka have failed to win any of their last 2 visits to Kyoto, with two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five H2H meetings overall.
- Wissing’s Gamba use a flexible 4-2-3-1 that presses intensely but whose wide full-backs can get caught out.
- Cho’s Kyoto operate a disciplined 4-3-3 that presses well and plays vertical football from midfield.
