🗞️ Team News: Vissel Kobe

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Vissel Kobe gaffer Takayuki Yoshida to be concerned with. Klismahn (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

💭 Prediction

Here is a game where Shimizu S-Pulse could well find it tough to see themselves scoring against this Vissel Kobe outfit who we think will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Vissel Kobe at the end of the match.

Little in this one.
