Vissel Kobe vs Shandong Predictions

An in-form Vissel should make good use of home advantage in Wednesday's AFC Champions League Elite encounter.

A home win with a minimum of two goals is my top tip in Kobe.

Vissel Kobe won 7 of their last 8 matches
Vissel Kobe won 3 of their last 4 home matches (AFC Champions League Elite)
Vissel Kobe scored 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches (AFC Champions League Elite)
Shandong lost 4 of their last 7 matches (AFC Champions League Elite)
Shandong lost 7 of their last 10 away matches (AFC Champions League Elite)
Shandong conceded 2+ goals in 7 of their last 10 away matches (AFC Champions League Elite)

Head to Head

Vissel Kobe and Shandong will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

Vissel Kobe Form

Vissel Kobe extended their unbeaten run to ten matches with a hard-fought victory against Urawa Reds on Saturday. Yoshinori Muto's first-half strike secured a 1-0 win at NOEVIR Stadium.

Takayuki Yoshida's men have enjoyed a superb run in recent weeks, scoring eight wins since mid-August.

The in-form Ushi also boast an excellent record at NOEVIR Stadium. Vissel won eight and lost just one of their last 11 home fixtures.

Vissel Kobe Team News

Head coach Yoshida is unable to call on two first-team players for Wednesday's AFC Champions League encounter. Hotaru Yamaguchi remains sidelined with a meniscus injury, while Mitsuki Saito misses out with a knee issue.

Shandong Form

Shandong make the trip to Japan unbeaten in four matches following a 4-1 win at Shenzhen Peng City in the Chinese Super League last weekend. Portuguese forward Pedro Delgado bagged twice to secure an easy away win for the Taishan.

Choi Kang-Hee's side won three of their last four games since a 1-0 home reversal against Qingdao West Coast last month.

The CSL side kicked off their AFC Champions League Elite campaign with a fine 3-1 win against Central Coast Mariners a fortnight ago. Taishan Dui have a poor away record in this competition, though. Shandong lost seven of their last ten on their travels.

Shandong Team News

Head coach Kang-Hee has no new injury worries to deal with this week. Brazilian forward Zeca remains a long-term absentee.

In-form Pedro Delgado will spearhead the Shandong attack on Wednesday.

Verdict

Vissel Kobe v Shandong

Vissel should claim an AFC Champions League Elite victory in Kobe.

A home win with over 1.5 goals is my only choice at NOEVIR Stadium.
