A leap into the Champions League places is the target for Vissel Kobe when they travel to Avispa for the next J1 League game. With a game in hand, Kobe arrive for this match placed third, five points behind the league leaders but seven ahead of their hosts. Read on for our prediction.

In recent times, Avispa have registered a lot of improvement. They are coming from back-to-back wins, beating Okayama 1-0 away from home before returning home to a 3-2 win over Albirex Niigata.

These results brought to an end a winless run of nine matches, and Avispa have opened up a 10-point buffer from the relegation zone.

Kobe have done even better and could jump into the top two with three points here. The visitors are coming off three straight wins and are among the five teams to have posted double digits in victories.

A Taisei Miyashiro brace helped them to rise from a goal down last time out, beating Kawasaki Frontale 2-1. Miyashiro was also on target in the earlier game, in a victory by the same margin against Nagoya Grampus.

Up to this point, Kobe are doing well in attack and winning key games. The only downside is that they aren’t very clean defensively. In the last eight league games, for example, they have no clean sheet.
