Vissel Kobe defeated Shonan Bellmare 1-0 away from home in the ninth round of the J1 League thanks to Yoshinori Muto's goal in the dying embers of the game.

Kyoto Sanga, on the other hand, were knocked out of the J.League YBC Levain Cup by third-tier AC Nagano Parceiro away from home, succumbing to a 3-2 defeat despite the odds being in their favor for a resounding triumph. 

Prior to that, they succumbed to a 1-0 league defeat against Albirex Niigata at home, which marked their fifth defeat of the season. In light of this result, they have lost four consecutive matches across all competitions and come into this match seeking to get back to the winning column. Away from home, they have failed to win their last three matches and have secured victory in just one of their last five matches (D3, L1).

Expert Betting Tips

Kyoto Sanga enters this match with a disappointing three-match losing streak in the league. More notably, they have failed to secure a victory in their last six league matches (L4, D2), suggesting they are likely to suffer a convincing defeat away from home. On the other hand, Vissel Kobe has displayed an impressive performance, although they have struggled at home. Nonetheless, they should have enough quality to secure a victory in this match.

While Vissel Kobe is undoubtedly favored to win comfortably at home, we believe that both teams might score in this match. This assumption is based on the fact that the home side has only kept one clean sheet in their last four matches, and this has also been the case in three of their previous meetings.
