2. From their last league match, Vissel Kobe's offensive performance was weak. They have created 15 shooting opportunities throughout the game, 3 of which were on target. The team's offensive efficiency has been low.
[Tips]:
Sanfrecce Hiroshima have remained unbeaten in their recent four league matches, securing three victories among them. This is largely due to their solid defensive line and stable offensive output.
In contrast, Vissel Kobe have seen a decline in form recently, with a powerless attack and inconsistent defensive end.
Combined with their H2H records and the AH Line of home team -0/0.5, the bookmakers are lacking confidence with home team. This data does not align with the current competitive form of the two teams.
Accordingly, we can cautiously favor Vissel Kobe to either draw or win away from home.
[Recommended]:
Vissel Kobe (+0/0.5)
