Head To Head
This will be the first meeting between the two clubs. A-League teams have only won two out of 20 games vs J-League teams over the last 10 years, with Japanese sides prevailing 13 times alongside five draws.
Newcastle Jets Form
It was an incredible season in 2025/26 for the Jets as they won the Australia Cup and took out the A-League minor premiership.
However, the Jets' form tipped at the backend of the campaign as they were eliminated in the finals by Sydney FC on penalties.
As is the case, Newcastle lost the bulk of their key players from last season and they've struggled to reproduce their level from last term, going down 3-2 to Preston Lions in the Australia Cup R32 before that 7-1 hammering away to Kashima to launch their Champions League campaign.
The Jets were down 5-0 before the break, with Patrick Wood scoring his first goal for the Jets in the 79th minute.
It's the start of a busy period for Mark Milligan's side, who are set to play seven games in 25 days as the new A-League season gets underway this weekend.
Gamba Osaka Form
Gamba qualified for the AFC Champion League Elite with a 1-0 victory over Gangwon in the playoffs and backed it up with a brilliant 4-1 dispatch of Vietnamese side Cong An Ha Noi on Matchday 1.
Takasi Usami scored a brace and Ryoya Yamashita registered a hat-trick of assists in the thumping opening victory.
However, wins like that have been hard to come by domestically, with Gamba managing just one victory in their opening nine games of the J-League season, languishing down in 18th position on the ladder.
Tomokazu Myojin's side were knocked out of the Japanese League Cup 5-4 by Kashiwa before a most-recent 2-0 loss in the league to Kashima.

Verdict
Gamba are tipped for a win on the road, with value on the J-League side keeping a clean sheet.
As a fan of Manchester City (since the 90s, he’s not a bandwagoner so they say), Canterbury Bulldogs and the Newcastle Jets, he’s experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows throughout the last few years.
