Alberix Niigata have already been drawing way too many matches and maybe this match could really see the real side of them. I do not believe they will sit on the fence for most of the game as Gamba is definitely a beatable team especially when they do play at home. Gamba have lost their 2 tough away fixtures to Nagoya and Kawasaki already and I fancy Niigata to pile on the pressure here. Moreover, Osaka have really slipped in the past ten games after starting the season off so promisingly.

For me Alberix looks very compact and stable this season compared to previous years whereby they are common candidates for relegation. The acquisition of several key players up front have really boosted their firing power and altogether, they have only gave up three games in twenty one. Back the home side to finally break their long awaited win less streak with a good showing against their close rivals.

Pick: Alberix Niigata @ 2.80
