Vissel Kobe consistently performs well in all competitions in which it takes part. The team is in first place in the J. League and is three points ahead of second-placed Hiroshima.

2.55Tip and bets
Both teams remain among the best representatives of Japanese football and the motivation for the final match will clearly be maximum. The visitors have a chance for a "golden double" and they will do everything to take the cup along with the championship, but the hosts have also looked very good lately - they will not be able to take the trophy in the championship, but Gamba Osaka will fight to the end for the Emperor Cup. We believe that this match will be equal and the opponents will certainly not be able to identify the strongest in regular time. We will bet on the fact that the 90 minutes will end with an equal score on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is a draw in regular time at 3.10

Bet on corners
We believe that no one will close themselves off in their penalty area, and over the 90 minutes of play, the opponents will make quite a few corner kicks between them.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.80
