Vissel Kobe form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the J-League this season. Vissel Kobe have only managed 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe.

Vissel Kobe are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 225 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Yuruki).

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Nagoya Grampus last time out and are looking for a win here. Thuler, defender, was given a rating of 8.15/10 in that game, top of the team. Thuler won 6 of 8 duels.

Before that fixture, a home defeat in the Emperor Cup against Kashima Antlers. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Vissel Kobe have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 4 and lost 6.

It should be noted that a look at the 10 latest league fixtures shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Gamba Osaka are coming to town in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Vissel here at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 12 games). From these home matches, Vissel Kobe have conceded only 11 goals.

Tokyo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their J-League travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

Tokyo has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Gamba Osaka for a 0-0 draw. Defender Kimoto was the best team player with a rating of 7.65. Kimoto won 1 of 5 duels.

A draw for Tokyo before that, at their own venue hosting Yokohama F. Marinos (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Tokyo in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Tokyo, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

After this away game Tokyo return home for a J-League game against Kyoto Sanga. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Tokyo have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Tokyo's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Tokyo have won at least one point in the last 4 matches (3-1-0) facing Vissel Kobe.

This was the result when the teams met earlier this campaign; Tokyo - Vissel 3-1.
