The hosts come into this match after a promising start to the season. In the opening round, Michael Skibbe's side beat Avispa Fukuoka 1-0.

Tokyo Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the J1 League tournament (home team - Tokyo, away - Machida Zelvia). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:5.

- corner kicks: 2 vs 5;

- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;
- shots on target: 4 vs 8.
The visitors are starting the season with serious problems. In the first round, Tokyo lost to Machida Zelvia 1-5. The total collapse was caused by the early sending-off of Kento Hashimoto. However, a far more significant loss for the team was an injury to a new signing. 29-year-old midfielder Nicolai Vallys, who joined from Brøndby, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training and will be sidelined for an extended period, having returned to Denmark for treatment.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Tokyo are struggling after losing a new signing and suffering a heavy defeat in the first round, which could take a mental toll on the team. Kobe therefore look like solid favourites at home and should dictate the course of the match, not allowing the visitors to spend much time around the edge of their penalty area. The predicted score is 2:0. The optimal bet is Tokyo individual total under 4.5 corners. In this case we see it as logical to go through the small market.
