Gwangju failed to reach the top half of the K-League standings in 2024 and finished only in ninth place, one step away from the play-off zone. This year, the team will try to meet the expectations of the fans and return to the fight for high places. After three matches of the new season, the club is in sixth place and two points behind the third position. The team will try to continue the fight in the Champions League, but the result of the first match of the confrontation with Kobe turned out to be unsuccessful - a 0:2 defeat.

Vissel Kobe
JapanCurrent form
Last year, Kobe became the Japanese champion for the second time in a row, ahead of Hiroshima, Matida Zelvia and Gamba Osaka. This year has started badly for the guests, at least as far as the J-League is concerned. The team has suffered only one defeat so far, but has never won in the first four rounds. The club is in 17th place, just one step away from the relegation zone. It is clear that the reigning champion is not used to such a position in the standings and will try his best to rectify the situation. But in the first match of the Champions League playoffs, they managed to win a confident home victory over Gwangju (2:0). Now all that remains is to maintain the advantage in the return match.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the return match.

10.00Tip and bets
The hosts lost in the first match of the confrontation and will try to win back on their own field. The team will certainly play in an attacking style, and the guests will respond with their counter-attacks. We believe that playing on opposite courses should lead to a lot of scoring chances. We suggest betting more on the total.
Our betting tip is a total of more than two goals in 1.68
Betting on the outcome
The guests started the season poorly and have so far managed to beat only today's opponent. For sure, Kobe's players will try to perform well in the second half. The Japanese club surpasses its opponent in terms of its level and should win the second match as well. It is worth betting on the success of the guests with a zero head start.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (0) on Kobe in 1.75
Betting on corners
Judging by our description, it's clear that we don't expect a closed and sluggish game, so we'll bet that the opponents will earn a lot of corners in this match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 8.5 corners in 2.07
