Kashiwa Reysol host Vissel Kobe in the J1 League, with the two teams sitting first and second in the table and separated by just one point. This game is therefore a direct measure of who will stay at the top of the table. Kashiwa Reysol have gone their last five matches without defeat, their attack still scoring consistently, though their defence has shown some stumbles. Vissel Kobe, meanwhile, are in red-hot form with a run of wins, and in those five matches they conceded only a few goals, so their defence is the more trustworthy area. This game is likely to open cautiously, with both sides knowing how dangerous the other is. The first half may be a period where each side sizes the other up, but once the second half comes, the hosts, lifted by their home fans, should push the game higher and be the side that finds the chance to close it out first.
