Vissel Kobe, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Vissel Kobe produced a stunning 3-0 away win over Kyoto Sanga. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Kyoto Sanga who had 12 attempts and 2 on target.
Takayuki Yoshida will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 12 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 2 goals in that time. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Vissel Kobe, Yuya Osako will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Albirex Niigata, Recent FormThe Albirex Niigata players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Nagoya Grampus recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Nagoya Grampus' tally of 25 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It's been a mixed run of form for Albirex recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Albirex Niigata, Koji Suzuki will be looking to add more goals against Vissel Kobe in this match.
