📋 Team News: Avispa Fukuoka

The Avispa Fukuoka manager Shigetoshi Hasebe has no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this match with a fully healthy squad to pick from.

📰 Team News: Vissel Kobe

Vissel Kobe boss Miguel Lotina has to choose a team with limited availability. Yoshinori Muto (Ankle Injury), Ryuho Kikuchi (Torn Knee Ligament), Bojan Krkic (Meniscal Injury), Noriaki Fujimoto (torn tendon) and Sergi Samper (Cruciate Ligament Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

In our view, Vissel Kobe may find it difficult to break down this Avispa Fukuoka lineup who will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a hard-fought 1-0 winning margin for Avispa Fukuoka after 90 minutes.

Looking forward to this.
