Avispa Fukuoka vs Vissel Kobe: Prediction for the Match on June 28, 2025
Prediction for the Japan J1 League game between Avispa Fukuoka and Vissel Kobe, renegades of the league who have terrorized all of their opponents and have made watching the J League 1 very interesting. Without much to say or prove, Fukuoka must be out of their minds to expect victory against Vissel Kobe. The best they can hope for is a tie, which will only happen if the visitors give room to complacency.
A preview of the game, team statistics, emerging lineups, and several betting options are available below.

Two narrow victories against Okayama (1-0) and Alvarez Niigata (3-2) gave the Fukuoka hornets six climbing points to occupy the tenth league spot. Before the win over Niigata their home form has been nothing to write about, with few goals littered with stalemates.
The thing about Fukuoka is this; they have enough flair to escape the bottom barrel, but lack the quality to conquer the top. Hence we see them day-in-day-out in the league, being no significant impact or threat to anyone.
Their ordinary state continues this season, with eight wins, five losses and eight draws, leaving them at twenty-nine points, with a deficit goal difference of two (scoring nineteen and conceding twenty one).
Avispa Fukuoka: Lineup
Team: There is nothing special about Fukuoka’s gameplay. They play the very basic style of football, despite deploying a formation that allows a blend of six midfielders and an occasional three strikers. The defenders ball watch almost all the time leaving the midfielders exhausted after trying to cover the flanks, middle and the attack at the same time.
Player: Yuji Kitajima was a phenom against Niigata last week: His incessant stacking runs made way for his team who came from behind after an extremely early concession that almost cost them the game.
Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Obata,Kamijima-Tashiro-Ando, Hashimoto-Matsuoka-Akino-Fujimoto, Kongo-Kitajima, Usui
Head Coach: Myung Hwi Kim
Vissel Kobe: Form and Statistics
Recent Form: WLWWW
The Me-Ushi, Cows of Vissel Kobe have rammed everyone they have faced so far in the league l. Undoubtedly, they are one of the most interesting teams to watch, staying strong as one of the teams that have scored in every game since the inception of the season.
With the caliber of attacking flair the squad has, it is not surprising at all to see the side with four wins in the last five weeks, leaving one loss.
They have faced three tough teams in the past three weeks, scaling over these teams with well-deserved performances to claim all points. With the caliber of plays we have seen from Vissel this season, it is quite shocking that they still stay plugged in the fourth spot. Beating Kawasaki Frontale (2-1), Nagoya Grampus (2-1) and Kashiwa Reysol (3-1) is no easy feat, and we wonder if Fukuoka can pose half the threat they have recently survived through.
Vissel Kobe: Lineup
Team: Vissel fields a traditional 4-3-3, which in play looks like a 4-5-1 because the midfield is always heavily choked with players. Miyashiro, who primarily plays the left midfield, had numerous openings last week in the CF position since Sasaki played with him and interchanged positions most of the time.
Player: Tasei Miyashiro showed excellent class against Kawasaki Frontale, gunning them down twice in the game after the opening goal from the opponents. His performance earned him player of the game, deservedly because he scored both the equalizing and the finishing goal. Fans will expect the coach not to do something foolish like keeping him sidelined for a second half play. Across tabloids, his momentum is needed from the initial whistle blows if they are to live up to the bargain.
Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Maekawa, Nagato-Thuler- Yamakawa-Sakai, Miyashiro-Ogihara-Ideguchi, Hirose-Sasaki-Patric
Head Coach: Takayuki Yoshida

Avispa Fukuoka vs Vissel Kobe match prediction 28 JUNE 2025
In this game, we are considering a change in the paradigm between the sides, with a long history of goal scarcity whenever the two sides meet. The Vissel Kobe we have watched in the last ten weeks will deliver goals in this fixture, and if Fukuoka think they can conjure the last 1-0 winning here, everyone in the camps have lost their minds.
My best options here are:
- My prediction for this game is a BTTS - NO at a coefficient of 1.661 odds from 1xbet.
- Our betting tip for this match is an Under 1.5 goals at the coefficient of 2.50 odds from the Betway bookmaker. I picked this option because even if Fukuoka decided to be stringent in the defenses, Vissel will still score at least one goal.
- Lastly, I will pick a win for the visitors at 1.95 odds from the Bet365 bookmaker.
