Vissel Kobe Team Overview
Vissel Kobe arrive at this away fixture on the back of five consecutive wins, looking composed and confident across all areas of the pitch. In their last league match, the Japanese giants beat one of their main rivals, Kashima Antlers, 2-1. However, Vissel's away form under Michael Skibbe has been inconsistent - wins and losses have been alternating since the start of May, a pattern that actually stretches back to last season.
