🧠 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Vissel Kobe have it within them to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Kyoto Sanga could well find it tough to break down their defence but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.
Accordingly, we see a controlled 3-1 margin for Vissel Kobe when all’s said and done.
