Kawasaki Frontale vs Vissel Kobe Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | J1 League 2025

Ushi were the better team when these teams last battled.

Kawasaki Frontale are all set to lock horns with Vissel Kobe in round 21 of the Japanese J1 League 2025 fixture. The interesting contest between the two teams is scheduled to take place at the Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu.

It is going to be a home fixture for Kawasaki Frontale, which will be one of the advantages for them. They are currently on a good run of form. But as they fell prey to Vissel Kobe the last time, Kawasaki might be feeling low on confidence. The hosts are placed seventh on the J1 League points table at the moment.

Vissel Kobe are just a spot above Kawasaki Frontale on the league table. Having won 10 of their 19 league matches this season, they are in sixth place. The visitors are also in decent form at this time.

The winning team between these two sides will get to jump up a couple of spots.

Players to Watch

Marcinho (Kawasaki Frontale)

The 30-year-old forward from Brazil is going to lead his side in the final third in the absence of Erison. Marcinho has scored four goals for Kawasaki Frontale this season in 19 J1 League games. Erison has scored three goals in the last four games.

With the help of his fellow squad mates, Marcinho can be dangerous for the opponent’s defence.

Taisei Miyashiro (Vissel Kobe)

With seven goal involvements in 15 Japanese league games this season, Taisei Miyashiro is one of the most important players for Ushi. The 25-year-old Japanese forward has scored three goals in his last three games for his team. He will be looking to step up and score a goal or two.
