Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Kawasaki Frontale

Form: WDDDD

The home side has endured difficult form in the league in recent weeks and is currently one of the sides batting for survival in the top-flight this season. 

In their most recent league match against Kashiwa Reysol away from home, they managed to return to winning ways, recording a 3-2 victory. This result halted a seven-match winless run across all competitions (D5, L2).

With 28 points accumulated from 24 matches, Kawasaki Frontale occupies 14th place in the J1 League standings. They are deadlocked on points with 15th-placed Albirex Niigata and are four points ahead of the relegation zone. 

Vissel Kobe

Form: DDWWD

Vissel Kobe was pretty active in the mini break as they participated in two pre-season friendlies. Firstly, they lost 3-2 in a closely contested bout against England's Tottenham Hotspur in the J. League World Challenge Final. However, they managed to redeem themselves as they defeated the French side 1-0 at the Misaki Park Stadium. 

In the league, they've not been performing up to the required standards, as they are on the brink of losing their league title. Their most recent league match was against Nagoya Grampus, where they settled for a 3-3 at home. This has extended their unbeaten run in the league to five matches (D3, W2), and they approach this match brimming with confidence.

With 42 points accumulated from 24 matches, Vissel Kobe occupies 4th place in the J1 League standings. They have maintained a two-point cushion over fifth-placed Sanfrecce Hiroshima and are seven points adrift of first-placed Machida Zelvia.

Expert Betting Tips

Kawasaki Frontale have been a force to be reckoned with in the league in recent weeks as they approach this match riding a six-match unbeaten run, although their run has been swamped with five draws and one win. Despite this, they aim to build on this momentum to secure a favorable outcome in front of their fans.

Vissel Kobe is also a side that can't be overlooked, as they come into this match unbeaten in their last five league matches. They boast the second-best away record in the league and will surely be a tough opponent to overcome. 

Considering that this is going to be a tight affair between two sides aiming to maintain their unbeaten run in the league, we suggested backing the total number of corners to exceed 10, as picking up a winner in the full-time market could go sideways.

• Corners - Over 10 for 1.90
• Total - Under 3 for 1.65
• Full-time Result - Draw for 3.50
