The guests occupy the last place and are three points behind the nearest competitors. The hosts are only on the 15th line and only at the end of the last round left the relegation zone. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on April 6th? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Vissel Kobe
JapanCurrent form
Last season, Kobe managed to stay ahead of the competition and won the second consecutive J-1 League title. Unfortunately, at the beginning of 2025, the nominal owners look extremely weak. First, the club lost the Super Cup to Hiroshima (0:2), and then spent the first four games of the championship without a win. Only in the fifth round, the Kobe team scored a 2-1 away win over Senan. The second victory was also won in an away match - on April 2, Takayuki Yoshida's team beat Yokohama (1-0). The reigning champion of Japan has already been eliminated from the Asian Champions League, losing to Korean Gwangju in extra time.

The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the ninth round.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last six matches of the hosts ended in a draw.

Albirex Niigata
JapanCurrent form
Albirex Niigata barely retained its registration in the top division last season. The club finished the championship in 16th place, only four points ahead of the eliminated Iwata. The start of this season doesn't promise anything good either. The club managed to score only four points in eight matches. At the same time, the guests have not won a single victory so far, there were only draws with Yokohama Marinos (1:1), Cerezo Osaka (2:2), Tokyo Verdi (2:2) and Gamba Osaka (3:3). In the last round, the guests were defeated by Fukuoka (0:1).

2.45Tip and bets
The hosts have started the current season very poorly, but they have started to gain points in recent matches and are slowly moving out of the bottom half of the standings. The reigning champion is clearly out of place and will try to score three points again, which will allow him to rise to the middle of the ranking. We believe that the team from Kobe, even on neutral territory, will be able to defeat the main outsider of the championship.
Our betting tip is for Kobe to win in 1.85
Bet on the total
The hosts will definitely not sit on the defensive in a duel with the main outsider of the league. Five goals were scored in the last two head-to-head matches, so we should expect high results in this match. We suggest betting on a high total.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 2.15 minutes.
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. It will obviously take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.10
