Previously, Chengdu Rongcheng drew 1-1 in the AFC Champions League Elite match with Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Mutsuki Kato (63') scored for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

The stats tell the story, and Chengdu Rongcheng have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 8 goals in total. In defence, Chengdu Rongcheng have some weaknesses to address. Such a pattern might not be carried forward here, however.

🗞️ Team News: Vissel Kobe

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Vissel Kobe gaffer Takayuki Yoshida to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Shota Arai (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.

💭 Prediction

In this match, Vissel Kobe will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Chengdu Rongcheng could well struggle to get shooting opportunities but we can see them hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Vissel Kobe at the end of the match.
