The story so far in the J-League for Vissel Kobe at their home stadium (NOEVIR Stadium Kobe) is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
A strong away win for Vissel Kobe against Vegalta Sendai the last match, as Ryuho Kikuchi and Kyogo Furuhashi were on target. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tokyo (0-2).
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Vissel Kobe matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and zero defeats (from four games).

Oita Trinita form and stats
Oita Trinita are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the J-League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Recent form does not give Trinita much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Vissel Kobe will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Trinita are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Prior to that result Trinita won their away game at Tokushima Vortis in the Nabisco Cup. The scoreline was 1-0.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Trinita when being an outsider away as they are today, we find seven matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing two and winning two games.
A quick return to home after this game, as Oita Trinita are hosting Nagoya Grampus in the J-League only four days away.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Trinita have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
