Vissel Kobe v Sanfrecce Hiroshima Tips

A 1-2 win back in February in the Super Cup final for Hiroshima last time they met Kobe, but they come here after a 2-0 defeat. So the selection is Kobe, who have lost only one of their last eight matches, having won six of them.

Japanese J1 League soccer match, Vissel Kobe vs. Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Sanfrecce Hiroshima has won four of its last seven matches against Vissel Kobe. My prediction for this match is Sanfrecce Hiroshima wins.

Three of the last seven league meetings between these sides have ended in a sharing of the spoils, so I like the look of the draw here in this one.

J1 League, Vissel Kobe vs Hiroshima. Both teams are playing very well with good defense, and both will want to defend their current position in the table. It seems like a close game where it will be difficult to see many goals. In their last 5 in this stadium, one of the two has been left without goals. A possible result could be 1 x 0. Obviously, this implies few goals in the confrontation.

Both sides have been involved in high-scoring games recently, with Vissel Kobe seeing over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches. Sanfrecce Hiroshima are also averaging 2 goals per game away this season. With two attacking setups and defensive gaps on both sides, this fixture has strong potential for goals. A fast tempo and open play style suggest over 2.5 goals is a value selection.

Expect goals. Vissel have scored 2 or more in 6 of their last 7 J League games. Sanfrecce have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 games.

I am expecting a draw and both teams to score. Both teams are very good in form. They have the same points in the league table. I think both teams will be very defensive and cautious not to lose. It will be a tight one. Both teams are capable of scoring goals as they have both scored and conceded goals in 4 of their last 5 respective games.
