🧠 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Kashiwa Reysol will need to put in a solid display to breach the defence of this Vissel Kobe team who we reckon should manage to score & go ahead.

That’s why our selection here is for a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for Vissel Kobe at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see how it plays out.
