Vissel Kobe, Recent FormVissel Kobe manager Takayuki Yoshida will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Kashiwa Reysol. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 0 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've kept 8 clean sheets so far this season.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
On an individual basis, Yuya Osako will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Vissel Kobe's last 6 league games.
FC Tokyo, Recent FormFC Tokyo will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Kashima Antlers, not least because of the valuable point gained. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Kashima Antlers had 7 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Albert Puig will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 14 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for FC Tokyo, Shuto Abe will be looking to add more goals against Vissel Kobe in this match.
