Though Gamba face a truly Herculean task in their bid to retain the title, they will take heart from the dramatic victory last weekend which kept them in the race.
Gamba's task, meanwhile, will be to break that stubborn resistance, and the man to do it may well be Magno Alves, who ended talk of a late-season dip in form with last weekend's crucial hat-trick.
Gamba's supporters will be in the minority at the weekend, but they will still make plenty of noise to encourage their side to a potentially crucial win in the race for the championship.

Gamba led Jubilo 4-2 at Iwata with eight minutes to go, but lost 5-4 in sudden-death extra time to an unfortunate own goal by the unlucky Miyamoto.
If Gamba had held on to win that match in 90 minutes, I am convinced they would have had the momentum and the motivation to go on and clinch the first-stage championship.
Gamba's second new foreign player, Marcus Aurelio Galeano, is a 30-year-old Brazilian journeyman, latterly of Botafogo.

 J.League Teams: Gamba Osaka
Gamba Osaka was one of the original teams that founded the J.League, but for the first decade of its history, the team was not a real contender.
Gamba fell just short in both 2000 and 2002, so when they began to fade, in the final stretch, in 2005, many thought that it would be another case of "close but no cigar".
Though Gamba's excellent youth programme and many veteran players should keep them in the race, it will be interesting to see whether they can restructure their offence in order to defend their title successfully.

 Preseason Summary: Gamba Osaka
After a decade of disappointment, and a number of close calls which left the team ruing its own inability to perform in the clutch, Gamba Osaka finally reached the peak of sucess, with a stirring victory on the final day of the 2005 season to claim their first league title.
Yet oddly enough, we have seen a number of football pundits give Gamba high marks for their offseason moves, while lambasting the lack of action at Chiba, Kashima, and the other side of Osaka, with the withering critique that "they havent changed anything since last year".
Given the level of competition, and the added burden of Asian matches, we think that Gamba will finish out of the money this season, though they probably have a good shot at claiming one of the cup titles, particularly considering the bye that they will receive as a result of their ACL responsibilities.

Gamba Osaka are hoping it will be fourth-time lucky against the Urawa Reds this season when the J.League juggernauts slug it out in the final of the 86th annual Emperor's Cup tournament at Tokyo's National Stadium this afternoon.
Gamba failed to beat Urawa in three attempts this season and were deprived of a second-straight league title by the Reds on the final day of the season in a game they had to win by three goals to leapfrog over their rivals into first place.
Gamba, meanwhile, are largely injury free and are expected to field their first-choice line up, which should include striker Ryuji Bando in place of Masafumi Maeda, who scored the winning goal in Gamba's 2-1 win over J2's Consadole Sapporo in the other semifinal on Friday.
