Vissel Kobe, Recent FormManager Takayuki Yoshida will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe.
They have had a strong run of form at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Yūya Ōsako will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Vissel Kobe.
Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormThey have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
