This game will be streamed on Youtube International!

Predicted Lineups

These can also be found on Playsharper website here . Also note that all the betting odds and lineup pics are taken direct from them!

Important to note the %s used here and where they are not above 75% it is because I feel there is some risk involved. My main aim with these is to show where risk/potential DNPs are lurking.

I base these %s on info I read from various sources including comments from the manager and reading a lot of local Japanese news coverage/message boards.

These are my own opinion of the situation at each team. I try to be as neutral as possible but we all have biases :) So always do your own research when making picks!

Kobe vs Kawasaki

Notes - General

• Returned to top of table after a 2-1 win again Sagan Tosu.
• Defenders Thuler and Honda returned to fitness and started.

Notes - This game

• Team is very stable in midfield and attack this season. 
• The same lineup for the last game is the most likely.
• Osako and Muto are having excellent seasons and have contributed 35 decisives between them.
• Haven't had a clean sheet against Kawasaki in any of their last 12 games against them.

Notes - Key Players

• Osako
• Muto
• Thuler

Notes - General

• Confidence high after last minute local derby win against champions YFM. 
• Key players returning from injury.

Notes - This Game

• Expected keeper JSR was a surprise omission from the squad last week. Kamifukumoto did excellent as his replacement and made some key saves.
• Though JSR is back in training, I expect Kamifukumoto to be rewarded with another start after the clean sheet.
• Damiao, Jesiel and Marcinho all in full training. Damiao in particular I think has a chance to feature but most likely from the bench imo.
• Are undefeated against Kobe in their last 7 meetings (5 wins and 2 draws)

Notes - Key Players

• Ienaga
• Wakizaka
• Yamane

Odds

Finish

I hope you found this useful!

The Kobe vs Kawasaki game is very evenly matched. Kawasaki are returning to form and playing much more confidently. Saying that, players like Osako and Muto are scoring for fun and I will be using Osako in one of my main teams.

The prize pools for All Star Rare, Cap 240 and Cap270 look particularly favorable this GW

As always these are just my own views on the situation based on research for each team.

If any info comes out before the deadline, I will post it on Discord

Good luck and enjoy the game :)
