G-Osaka vs Kobe Match Preview

G-Osaka is ranked at the second spot with 52 points and comes in very good form as they are unbeaten in the last five matches with three wins and two draws. In fact, their unbeaten streak extends to 11 matches in a row as they won nine and draw two since that surprising loss against Shonan.

They seem to be on the right path for securing the second spot which gives a direct ticket for AFC Champions League, as the title matter has been over weeks ago. Their strongest side has been their defense as they have the third-best in the league and it will be a key factor to stop their rivals who rely a lot on their attack, but also leave many spaces behind.

Kobe, on the other side, is ranked at 11th place with 36 points and after a season full of ups and downs has nothing left to play for in the final four weeks. It can be seen on their results too as they come after a single win and four losses over the last five matches. All four losses came against teams that are ranked lower than G-Osaka so now it should be even tougher for them.

They have a very strong offensive side with 50 goals scored so far but have the second-worst defensive side with 54 goals conceded. But having to face a solid team like G-Osaka and having to motivation to do so I see a difficult game ahead for them.

In conclusion, I think G-Osaka can win this match or get at least a draw here. They have been way better so far and with the season coming to the final part they have all the motivation they need in order to prevail here. They managed to beat Kobe 0-2 earlier this season. Kobe seems like has already ended the season and is playing just for fun. Being away from home here should make it tougher for them.
