Vissel Kobe vs Kitchee: Top Free Betting Tips

Kitchee got a shocking win over Chiangrai United this previous week and are now leading this group of the CL. Vissel Kobe should be an even bigger challenge.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

This will be the first match for Vissel Kobe in the group stage so we cannot be too certain about their potential performance. From the Japanese league, however, we know that they are definitely out of shape and we do not expect a lot of goals here from them. Kitchee managed to score an early goal in their first match and then it was all defense for 70 minutes, so we do not expect them to score here in general but if they do, we expect the same match – one goal max and all defense.

Match Result – Vissel Kobe

Vissel Kobe had the worst start in the Japanese elite and will have a seriously difficult season to play. Their chances to reach the AFC for next season are over already, so they should focus on the games in the tournament while they can still be in it. Shanghai Port withdrew from the group, so Vissel now have an even easier task to win the group.

Both Teams To Score – No

We do not expect to see a goal from Kitchee here although they won their first match and also Vissel are in terrible form. Their start to the season is the absolute worst in Japan and they have conceded the highest number of goals to date. Nevertheless, Kitchee are on a completely different level and we mean a lot worse, so Vissel Kobe should be able to keep a clean sheet.

Vissel Kobe finished third last season in the J1 League, which was incredible but the new year started with 10 games in a row without a win for them. Right now, they are last in the league and their goal difference is 5:16. You can see that the team is terrible and they should focus on the AFC Champions League besides the obvious relegation battle.

Kitchee Preview

Kitchee have been champions in Hong Kong year after year as the league there consists of just eight teams and most of them are not even truly professional sides. Overall, it is not too hard to win the title in Hong Kong and Kitchee are nowhere near the level of teams in the Japanese League like Vissel Kobe.
