Vissel Kobe and Sanfrecce Hiroshima dropped points in their respective outings. They are set to face off in the J1 League, and each hopes to bounce back. Hosts Kobe are fourth and Sanfrecce fifth, and we have a prediction for the match below.
Coming from an away game at Avispa Fukuoka, Kobe missed the chance to rise into the Champions League places. They are now four points behind second-placed Kashiwa Reysol but remain unbeaten in four matches.
Five times in their last seven league matches, they emerged winners. The hosts have also posted five wins in their last six league matches at home and have the edge coming here. When facing Sanfrecce in the league, Kobe won four of their last eight meetings.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima are fresh off a loss to struggling Nagoya Grampus. It was another disappointing outing at home after Mateus’ first-half brace left them chasing the game in the second.
They had a glimpse of hope in the 90th minute through Naoto Arai’s strike, but it came too late and was only a consolation.
The visitors’ inconsistency is captured in the fact that before that defeat, they had beaten Yokohama 4-0 away from home. In the last five matches, Sanfrecce have managed just two wins and also lost twice.
