Team News: Vissel Kobe
Thereโs just a single fitness concern for the Vissel Kobe manager Takayuki Yoshida to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. 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.
