Tokyo FC vs Vissel Kobe: Prediction for the Match on May 10, 2025

Prediction for the J League 1 game between Tokyo FC and Vissel Kobe, two teams with different tales to tell, pulling their shorts from various regions of the table with contrasting outcomes last week. While the hosts will seek to consolidate their recent win, the visitors are set to oppose all the odds of losing redundancy.

A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

Tokyo was fierce in the 3-2 full-time brawl against Albirex Niigata in what seemed to be a never-ending affair. Marcelo Ryan opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a shot just outside the box. Kei Koizumi was quick to score a goal in the 55th minute after dribbling through the last line of defenders. An incisive pass from the midfield gave Marcelo Ryan a brace to further the scoreline to 3-1, after which the opposition scored a corner to make the score 3-2 at full time.

The victory was a welcome start for the players who recently had their unbeaten streak broken by the 2-0 loss against Shimizu S-Pulse.

Currently, Tokyo FC is stationed in the sixteenth league spot, with four wins, four stalemates, and six bottlenecked stalemates in the last fourteen games.

Tokyo FC: Lineup

Coach Matsuhashi maintained four midfielders in the middle, with a lone striker upfront supported by two attacking midfielders, who doubled as standing strikers. Although his 3-player defense line supports the possibility of goal concession, the recent victory came at a huge price, with Endo and Ko picking up injuries, which will sideline them for several weeks.

👤 Head Coach: Rikizo Matsuhashi

🔖 Predicted Lineup: Nozawa, Doi-Kimura-Trevisan, Koizumi-Shirai-Hashimoto- Anzai, Sato-Tawaratsumida, Marcelo Ryan.

Out: K. Endo, T. Ko

Vissel finally met their match last week against the Cherry Blossoms of Cerezo Osaka, who began the contest with unveiled hostility towards Kobe. Despite the huge initial rush from Cerezo, the hosts opened the scoring through a fine play from Miyashiro, who scored their only goal in that contest. Their lead did not last long, with the equaliser coming two minutes later.

The second half began with a great turn, as the opponents scored two goals a few minutes before the close of the game, bringing Vissel Kobe to their fourth defeat after thirteen matches.

In the last four league games away from home, Vissel Kobe has played through three wins and one loss; all narrow games, with a solitary goal either in or against them at full time.

Vissel Kobe: Lineup

Since it is well known that most losing squads do not make player of the match, Rikuto Hirose, who, however, was on top of this game last week, will have a lot expected of him against Tokyo FC. Coach Yoshida must find an alternative route, aside from the Hirose-Mitashiro path towards the goal. If he chooses the exact route this time, he may be met with strict resistance and halted in his tracks. His lineup against Tokyo FC will look like:

🔖 Predicted Lineup: Maekawa, Hirose-Caetano-Yamakawa-Sakai, Miyashiro-Saito-Ideguchi, Yuruki-Sasaki-Erik

👤 Head Coach: Takayuki Yoshida
