08月18日神户胜利 VS 横滨水手比赛分析直播
Gameday in Saitama for the 1/8 final between Vissel Kobe & Yokohama Marinos.
In J league, Vissel is ranked 16 with 6 wins, 6 draws & 13 losses for 23 goals scored & 32 goals conceded.
Yokohama is ranked 1 in J League with 14 wins, 6 draws & 4 losses for 51 goals scored & 27 goals conceded.
When they met this season, Yokohama won 2-0 but Vissel on that time was still under first coach of the season, Miura.
I'm surprised about the 11 of Vissel because I really expected them to go with the stronger line up but first of all we have Mugosa on the bench, despite of having an offensive line up for today I wanted to see him next to Osako. Iniesta is on the bench, it's a very weird choice because Vissel without him is really not playing the same football and they are playing too much with long balls.
On their side Marinos is going with a very strong line up. As imports they have Leo Ceara & Elber starting. We have Anderson Lopes who should be a good subs for this game.
Marinos is very motivated about the AFC CL while Vissel is focus on the relegation fight.
Game is played at neutral location so no special advantage for Vissel.
I expect 0-1 or 1-2.
