Vissel Kobe vs Kawasaki Frontale Lineups and Last Match
Vissel
Vissel Kobe had the home advantage against Sagan Tosu last time out and they used it well, securing all 3pts with a late goal. The first half failed to produce any goals but early in the second forty-five, the visitors went in front via a penalty. Vissel Kobe responded really well to going behind and got back onto level terms through Osako just 2-minutes later. The game looked like it might end all square until substitute Patrick fired in an 82nd-minute winner for the hosts.
Predicted Lineup – Maekawa (GK), Sakai, Honda, Hatsuse, Thuler, Yamaguchi, Yuruki, Saito, Sasaki, Osako & Muto
Kawasaki
Kawasaki Frontale did Vissel Kobe a massive favour in their last game away at the then table-topper, Yokohama FM. The game at the Nissan Stadium looked to be heading for a goalless draw until Kurumaya scored a dramatic winning goal for Kawasaki that allowed Vissel Kobe to move to the top of the table.
Predicted Lineup – Kamifukumoto (GK), Noborizato, Kurumaya, Yamane, Takai, Ienaga, Schmidt, Wakizaka, Seko, Miyashiro & Yamada

Player to Watch: Yuya Osako
Vissel Kobe's 33-year-old forward has been in great form and could make the difference between finishing as the champions or the runners-up in the J-League this season.
Osako has scored 14 league goals so far this season, doubling the tally he achieved in the previous campaign. The former Werder Bremen and Cologne striker has scored 5-goals in his last 9 matches in all competitions, so heads into Saturday's match full of confidence.
