Kawasaki Frontale vs Vissel Kobe Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024

Kawasaki Frontale will host Vissel Kobe at the Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have endured a rather difficult campaign and now find themselves 14th in the league table sitting just four points above the relegation zone.

They returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-2 away victory over Kashiwa Reysol, with Shin Yamada scoring a first-half brace before team captain Yasuto Wakizaka wrapped up the points late in the game.

Vissel Kobe meanwhile have had a largely positive season and remain in contention for the league title with two-thirds of the season now gone. They played out a 3-3 draw against Nagoya Grampus in their last league outing and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points following late goals from Kakeru Yamauchi and Ryuho Kikuchi before their opponents leveled the scores at the death.

The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 42 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this week.

Vissel Kobe are undefeated in their last six competitive games picking up three wins and three draws in that period. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and may have to settle for a point here.
