Avispa Fukuoka head into this fixture following a 1-1 J1 100 Year Vision League drawn game against Shimizu S-Pulse.

In that game, Avispa Fukuoka managed 44% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Shimizu S-Pulse had 8 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Se-hun Oh (75') scored for Shimizu S-Pulse. After a tense 3-4 penalty shootout, Shimizu S-Pulse were victorious.

It has been seldom in recent times that Avispa Fukuoka haven’t conceded. The facts show that Avispa Fukuoka have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 8 goals in the process. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

📋 Team News: Vissel Kobe

Vissel Kobe manager Michael Skibbe has to choose a team with limited availability. Takuya Iwanami (Broken collarbone), Niina Tominaga (Patellar tendon rupture) and Takahiro Ogihara (Knee injury) can’t be considered.

⚡ Prediction

We think that Avispa Fukuoka could well find it tough to get anything against this Vissel Kobe team who we reckon will score at least once to put them ahead.

We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Vissel Kobe after 90 minutes.

Hoping for a good game.
