Avispa Fukuoka vs Vissel Kobe Lineups and Last Match
Avispa
Nagoya Grampus provided the opposition for Avispa's last league game. The match proved to be close and competitive throughout but Avispa ended up losing the game 2-1. Sato converted a 65th-minute penalty to get Avispa back onto level terms but just 4-minutes later, Nagoya Grampus restored their lead and held on to win the game.
Predicted Lineup – Murakami (GK), Grolli, Nara, Maejima, Oda, Ideguchi, Mae, Konno, Lukian, Yamagishi & Sato
Vissel
Vissel Kobe's last J-League game also ended in a 2-1 defeat on the road.

Player to Watch: Yoshinori Muto
The former Newcastle United forward has been in good form for Vissel Kobe this season both scoring and creating goals on a regular basis.
Muto might not be the club's top scorer this season but the 30-year-old has chipped in with 6 league goals and an impressive 7-assists so far.
After leaving his homeland in 2015 to join German side Mainz, Muto earned a move to Premier League side Newcastle but his time in England didn't go to plan and following a brief spell in Spain with Eiber, he returned to Japan in 2021 with Vissel Kobe.
we're backing Muto to show his quality this weekend against Avispa, most likely by creating a goal or two for his teammates and possibly chipping in with one of his own.
