📏 Form Guide

Vissel Kobe
LWLWLW ↕
Vissel Kobe, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 J1 League triumph vs Tokyo Verdy.
In that match, Vissel Kobe managed 58% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Vissel Kobe was Koya Yuruki (51'). Tokyo Verdy got 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.
An interesting theme in recent Vissel Kobe games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their prior 6 matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would've been a loser. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Ahead of this clash, Vissel Kobe are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.

ℹ️ Team News: Vissel Kobe
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Vissel Kobe manager Takayuki Yoshida to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Klismahn (unknown injury) is out of contention.
ℹ️ Team News: Kawasaki Frontale
Kawasaki Frontale boss Shigetoshi Hasebe has to currently contend with reduced team options. Geun-hyeong Lee (Meniscus tear), Jesiel (Hamstring injury), Shintaro Kurumaya (Adductor injury) and Yu Kobayashi (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We envisage that Kawasaki Frontale have the capability to score against this Vissel Kobe outfit, however it realistically won’t be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Vissel Kobe at the end of this one. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
