Team News: Vissel Kobe
There arenโt many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Vissel Kobe manager Takayuki Yoshida to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Klismahn (unknown injury) misses out.

Prediction
Weโre of the view that Vissel Kobe have it within them to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Fagiano Okayama wonโt find it easy getting on the scoresheet - but, we do see them getting the chances to score, too.
We therefore think that itโs going to be a 3-1 winning margin for Vissel Kobe when allโs said and done.
