🗞️ Team News: Vissel Kobe
Shota Arai (Broken jaw), Haruya Ide (Hamstring injury), Koya Yuruki (Broken collarbone) and Mitsuki Saito (Torn lateral knee ligament) will not be taking part for Vissel Kobe gaffer Takayuki Yoshida.
In our view, Ushi should make use of the 4-1-2-3 formation for this game with Daiya Maekawa, Gotoku Sakai, Tetsushi Yamakawa, Matheus Thuler, Yuki Honda, Takahiro Ogihara, Hotaru Yamaguchi, Taisei Miyashiro, Yoshinori Muto, Yuya Osako and Rikuto Hirose.
ℹ️ Team News: Sanfrecce Hiroshima
Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager Michael Skibbe has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Douglas Vieira (Knee injury), Hiroya Matsumoto (Knee medial ligament tear) and Taichi Yamasaki (Cruciate ligament injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
We reckon that Sanfrecce might make use of a 3-4-2-1 system by sending out Keisuke Osako, Tsukasa Shiotani, Hayato Araki, Sho Sasaki, Shuto Nakano, Shunki Higashi, Makoto Mitsuta, Takumu Kawamura, Yuki Ohashi, Mutsuki Kato and Pieros Sotiriou.
🔮 Prediction
It’s looking like Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Vissel Kobe could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We’re therefore seeing a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
