THE PREDICTION

Vegalta Sendai come into this on the back of a winless start in their opening five games of the season. One draw and four defeats leaves them towards the bottom end of the table. Their most recent outing was a cup defeat and that now means back-to-back cup defeats, too. They come up against a Vissel Kobe side that lost their cup match last week 2-0 away to Tokyo. That has contributed to a mixed season so far with three wins, two draws and one defeat in the league so far. Vissel Kobe are one of seven sides to score double figures so far this season whilst Vegalta Sendai have conceded 16 goals, only one side have conceded more. Therefore, over 2.5 goals would be a good bet.
