Kashiwa's equivalent record is eight wins, two draws and ten losses from twenty, with 28 scored and 21 conceded. They picked up Emperor Cup wins over Imabari and Senshu University recently, but also lost 2-1 away in the Asian Champions League Elite, and their J1 League form earlier in the year included a fair number of defeats.

Gamba's overall sample looks the healthier of the two by some distance.

Comparative Team Statistics: Kashiwa Reysol vs Gamba Osaka

Kashiwa's record against Gamba

Over their last twenty meetings, Kashiwa have actually won more often than Gamba, ten wins to six with four draws. Their most recent meeting, in October 2025, went 5-0 to Kashiwa away at Gamba's ground.

At home specifically, Kashiwa have generally done well against this opponent down the years, including wins in 2025, 2021, 2020, 2018 and 2016. The two sides have also met once before in this exact competition, back in February 2020, when Kashiwa won 1-0 away.

History between these two clubs doesn't line up neatly with what the group table suggests.

Where they stand in the group

Gamba Osaka are top of this cup section with ten points from six games, built on three wins, a draw and two defeats, and they've conceded just four goals along the way.

Kashiwa Reysol sit fourth in the same group, with five points from six games, just one win, two draws and three losses, and ten goals let in already.

On the group table alone, Gamba look like the stronger side heading into this one.

Key men

Kashiwa's H. Nakama has scored twice in his last three appearances, so he looks like their main source of goals right now.

Kashiwa Reysol:

Best scorers:

H. Nakama - 2

Penalty cards:

E. Shirai x 1

Gamba Osaka:

Penalty cards:

R. Yamashita x 1

On discipline, both Gamba's R. Yamashita and Kashiwa's E. Shirai have picked up just one yellow card apiece in their last three games, nothing that points to any fresh suspension worries.

Two stories pulling in different directions

Gamba arrive on the back of a stronger overall sample and sit top of this group, while Kashiwa have stuttered through a lot of their recent matches.

Yet history between these two clubs, especially at Kashiwa's own ground, has tended to favour the home side more often than not. That contrast makes this one tricky to call with much confidence.
