Command Analysis
Vissel Kobe
JapanCurrent form
In the last round, Kobe suffered a defeat to Tokyo (0:2) in front of local fans. If it weren't for this fiasco, the team would have topped the tournament table, but for now they have to be content with the second line in the ranking, lagging behind the leading Hiroshima by only one point.
A few days ago, Kobe managed to reach the final of the Japan Cup, beating Kyoto 2-1 in the semi-final. The team is also playing well in the Champions League. In three rounds played, they managed to score seven points out of nine possible. In short, the team is in a great mood.

Jubilo Iwata
JapanCurrent form
Iwata is currently in the relegation zone. They are four points behind a safe place, but the visitors have a game in hand. In order to maintain a real chance of staying in the league, they must take three points in the upcoming match, but this will be very difficult, since they will have to play the current champion, who also needs a victory like air. Considering that in the last ten face-to-face matches at this stadium they managed to win only once, the chances of getting three points are becoming ghostly.
Disqualifications and injuries
Morioka will not play due to injury, and Gomez has an accumulation of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting

- The visitors have scored in the last two matches
