This Japanese J1 League round 36 fixture will see fourth-placed Vissel Kobe travel to face ninth-placed Gamba Osaka on Sunday. Can the defending champions relaunch themselves into the title race with a win against the Black-and-Blues? Here is our prediction.
Vissel Kobe’s hopes of retaining the J1 League title are in tatters following their underwhelming performances lately. A three-match winless run has seen them drop to fourth in the standings with 62 points – five adrift of table-toppers Kashima Antlers.
They defeated Ulsan HD 1-0 in their most recent fixture in the AFC Champions League, but drew 2-2 away against Albirex Niigata in their last J1 League outing. They are also winless in their last three away matches.
Gamba Osaka will enter this match on the back of three consecutive victories. These include a 2-0 away win over Nagoya Grampus in their last J1 League outing and, most recently, a 1-0 away win over Nam Dinh in the AFC Champions League 2. Notably, Dani Poyatos’ side have enjoyed an impressive run at home recently, winning six of their last eight fixtures.
