Port vs Vissel Kobe prediction
Port FC finished as runners-up in the Thai Premier League last season but they have started strongly this time around with back-to-back 2-1 victories against Rasisalai United and then Lamphun Warrior in their opening couple of games.
Vissel Kobe, with Michael Skibbe at the helm, overcame Kashima Antlers by two goals to one at the weekend as they sit second in the J1 League table, a point behind Machida Zelvia after seven games so far this season.
Vissel Kobe have been defensively solid at the start of this season and, while winning, Port haven’t been overly convincing so siding with the visitors may well be the way to go for this one.
Port vs Vissel Kobe tip: Vissel Kobe to win & under 3.5 goals
