Vissel Kobe travels to Machida for their next match in the J1 League. The target for Vissel Kobe is clear – to stay at the league summit while Machida look to rise to fourth. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Since their loss to struggling Yokohama Marinos, Machida have been a different side. They arrive here with eight straight wins across all competitions.
The hosts will be putting this winning run on the line while seeking a first-ever win against Vissel Kobe. Three of their eight victories were in the Emperor’s Cup. The latest of them was earlier this week, beating Kyoto 1-0 at home.
Vissel Kobe have never lost to Machida and will be banking on this, as well as their current form, to claim three away points. On their last visit here, Kobe claimed their first win against Machida, a 2-1 outcome.
In their latest meeting, Kobe registered a 1-0 victory, their second straight clean sheet in this fixture. There are reasons for Kobe to feel this remains a winnable game, coming from a 2-1 win in extra time against Toyo University in a cup game.
Three clean sheets in the last four league matches and six wins in the last seven in the league are among Kobe’s strong points coming here.
