Matchday 12 in the J1 League will see Vissel Kobe taking on Machida Zelvia at Noevir Stadium on Friday. Recent league games between these sides have been low-scoring affairs, and we are expecting that trend to continue here, as discussed in our prediction below. 

Vissel Kobe missed out on a golden opportunity to move up to second place in the league standings on Wednesday evening when they suffered a 2-1 loss to Kawasaki Frontale. 

Ushi have now lost two of their last three league matches, but they have made a strong start to their AFC Champions League campaign, winning their first two games against Port MTI and Jeonbuk. 

The hosts are unbeaten at home this season with three wins and a draw in their four league games. They have also kept clean sheets in their last two matches against their upcoming opponents at this venue. 

Meanwhile, Machida Zelvia have made a storming start to the season, taking 26 points from their first 11 games, which sees them leading the league standings by two points. 

Zelvia was the only team from the top six sides in the standings to secure a victory in midweek, beating Shimizu S-Pulse 5-0. They are now the highest-scoring team in the league with 30 goals. 

The visitors have the best away record in the division with five wins and a draw from their six outings. They also have the best defensive away record, with just three goals conceded.

Our Vissel Kobe vs Machida Zelvia Prediction

While Machida Zelvia have been excellent in attack this season, currently the highest-scoring team in the division, what has been more impressive is their recent defensive record, as they enter this match following five consecutive clean sheets. 

Vissel Kobe have lost two of their last three league games, but they have yet to taste defeat at home this season. Only a single goal was scored in the last two matches between these sides at this venue, and we feel this will be another low-scoring affair. Our Vissel Kobe vs Machida Zelvia prediction is under 2.5 goals.
