Vissel Kobe
LWLWLW โ
Vissel Kobe, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 J1 League triumph vs Tokyo Verdy.
In that match, Vissel Kobe managed 58% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Vissel Kobe was Koya Yuruki (51'). Tokyo Verdy got 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.
An interesting theme in recent Vissel Kobe games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their prior 6 matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would've been a loser. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Ahead of this clash, Vissel Kobe are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Vissel Kobe manager Takayuki Yoshida to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Klismahn (unknown injury) is out of contention.

Kawasaki Frontale boss Shigetoshi Hasebe has to currently contend with reduced team options. Geun-hyeong Lee (Meniscus tear), Jesiel (Hamstring injury), Shintaro Kurumaya (Adductor injury) and Yu Kobayashi (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) are names that wonโt be on the team sheet.
