In the second semi-final of the Japan Cup, Vissel Kobe and Kyoto Purple Sanga will compete for a ticket to the final. The hosts' appearance in the semi-final is not in question, since the team is fighting for the championship in the J. League and plays in the Champions League, but few were expecting the guests here - they are only 15th in the championship. Will the club from Kameoka be able to create a sensation on October 27? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Vissel Kobe

Current form

Vissel Kobe consistently performs well in all competitions in which it takes part. The team is in second place in the J. League and is only one point behind the leader Hiroshima. In the Champions League, too, everything is fine - after a goalless draw with Buriram United, the team managed to beat China Shandong Taishan (2:1) and Korea Ulsan (2:0). They can also fight for a third trophy - the Emperor Cup, where they have already managed to beat Toyama (2:0), Tokushima (2:0), Kashiwa (1:0) and Kashima (3:0). There is only one step left to the final, and on the way there is clearly not the strongest opponent, but they cannot afford to relax.

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have no losses in their squad ahead of the semi-final match.

Interesting trends for betting

The team did not concede a single goal during this Japan Cup competition.
The hosts have won six of their last seven matches.

Estimated lineup : Maekawa - Hatsusa, Tuler, Yamakawa, Sakai - Ogihara - Sasaki, Ideguchi - Miyashiro, Osako, Muto

Kyoto Sanga FC

Current form

Kyoto Purple Sanga has not been successful in the Japanese championship in recent years, and now occupies only 15th place in the table, ahead of the relegation zone by only six points. But in the cup there is a chance to surprise, because it has already managed to reach the semi-finals, which is already worthy. It is worth noting that the club was lucky with the bracket. In the previous stages, it managed to get past Omiya (2:0) from the third league, and then Shimizu (3:1), Oita (2:0) and Chiba (3:0). All these clubs play in the second strongest division of Japan. It will clearly not be so easy in a match with one of the leaders of the J. League-1.

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors have no problems with their lineup at the moment.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has won only one of its last four matches.
The club has won five of its last seven away matches

Tip and bets

Tiphandicap (-1) at Kobe

2.15

So far, the visitors have only faced inferior opponents in the cup, and now they will face a contender for the J. League title and a participant in the Champions League. The hosts perform well in all tournaments and are clearly not against fighting for the national cup. We believe that Kobe is currently stronger than its opponent and must win confidently.

Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on "Kobe" for 2.15

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 2.5 goals

1.97

Bet on total

This match is unlikely to be productive, because the opponents are fighting for a place in the final and will try to eliminate unnecessary risk and stupid mistakes in defense from their game. Most likely, the match will be stubborn, but without a lot of dangerous moments. We suggest betting on the total under.

Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.97

Bet on corners

Just 20 days ago the rivals played in the championship and there were only nine corners, despite both teams being active in attack and scoring five goals. It is unlikely that the players will earn more corners in the cup match.

Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners with odds of 1.83

Will the prediction win?
