Kobe Victory won 4-0 against Osaka Flyers last week to start the season with 3 consecutive victories. In this season's matches, Victory immediately attacked with high speed after getting the ball back, which is very efficient, and the veteran players in the squad also played an important role in controlling the rhythm of the match.
The three midfielders in Victory Boat's squad will be crucial in this match, as they will need to try their best to cut off Urawa's forward passes, and at the same time, they will also need to be well-positioned when organizing the attack to avoid opponents' pressures.
Urawa Red Diamonds won 2-1 against Cerezo Osaka last week, not only their first win of the season, but also their first win since new manager Scott Sigurza took over. These 3 points definitely help boost the morale of the team, but I think their players still need a bit more time to understand what Scottie wants from the team.
Victory Boat has only conceded 1 goal so far in the league, so I expect Red Diamond to focus on stabilizing their attacking tempo and creating attacking time and openings for both Hing and David Kayachen.
