It's time for the Japanese Cup! On Wednesday, the 3rd round games will be played and one of them is going to be between Vissel Kobe and Ventforet Kofu. In this game, I predict Kobe's win.

Vissel Kobe is playing very well. Since May 31, they have 6 wins and 1 draw in 7 games, including a win in the Cup's 2nd round. The only draw was in the J1 League road game, when they didn't score against Avispa Fukuoka, playing 0:0. Vissel Kobe probably should have won because they created an xG of 0.71, while the opponents had only 0.22. In the national championship, Vissel Kobe is one of the best teams with 13 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. If we look at their home performance, they have 7 wins and 2 draws in 12 games, a total of 17 goals scored and 10 conceded.

Ventforet Kofu has 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 6 games. In the previous Cup round, Ventforet Kofu beat Fukui United 2:1, but their opponents are playing in a regional tournament. Ventforet Kofu is a J2 League team, which has 8 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses. If we look at their road performance, they have 4 wins and 4 draws in 12 games, a total of 12 goals scored and 9 conceded.

In my opinion, there's no doubt that Vissel Kobe is the favorite in this matchup. The team is much better, and now it is one of the best in the whole country. The previous meeting between both teams was 2 years ago, when Vissel Kobe won on the road 4:1. There's also a big value difference between both teams (19.4 million vs. 6.5). Of course, Vissel could be without some players, but either way they should be able to get the job done.

日本杯的时间到了！周三，第三轮比赛将进行，其中一场比赛将在科比和考夫之间进行。在这场比赛中，我预测科比会赢。

科比打得很好。自5月31日以来，他们在7场比赛中取得了6胜1平的成绩，其中包括在杯赛第2轮的胜利。唯一的平局是在J1联赛的客场比赛中，他们以0:0对阵福冈没有进球。科比可能应该赢，因为他们创造了0.71的xG，而对手只有0.22。在全国冠军赛中，科比队以13胜4平6负的成绩成为最好的球队之一。如果我们看看他们在主场的表现，他们在12场比赛中取得了7胜2平，总共进了17球丢了10球。

Ventforet Kofu在最近6场比赛中取得了3胜3平的成绩。在上一轮杯赛中，文特福瑞特口福队以2:1击败福井联队，但他们的对手是在地区联赛中比赛。Ventforet Kofu是一支J2联赛球队，8胜8平7负。如果我们看看他们的客场表现，他们在12场比赛中取得了4胜4平，总共进了12球丢了9球。

在我看来，毫无疑问，科比在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的。这支球队好多了，现在是全国最好的球队之一。两队上一次交手是在两年前，当时科比客场4:1获胜。两支球队之间的价值差异也很大（1940万vs 650万）。当然，维塞尔可能会失去一些球员，但无论如何，他们都应该能够完成工作。
