Kobe Victory ship, the star of this year's AFC Champions League, showed amazing fighting spirit with a 2-0 home win over FC Gwangju and three wins and a draw in their four group stage matches.
Miyashiro Daisuke, the scorer for Victory Boat, is expected to show his skills again in the next three AFC Champions League matches, having already scored four goals in the past matches. The versatile striker, who has been one of the team's big acquisitions this year, is expected to be able to wear down the Nakanishi Mariners' defense in the tournament.
Even if the Nakanishi sailors managed to contain Miyashiro Daisho, the Victory Ship still had Isamu Osako, Kaji Muto, and Daiki Sasaki at the point of fire, ready to launch an attack at a moment's notice. Their threat was everywhere.
However, this year's elite AFC Champions don't seem to be living up to expectations, with poor regular season and playoff performances, and only one point from four rounds of group play. With the heroes gone and the team damaged, could this be the reason for the Mariners' low performance? My experience tells me that it is indeed not easy for a team to achieve good results after losing its core players.
The Mariners are counting on Gouaux and Emundsen to make a difference to the team, with both having the ability to score goals. Gouaux's pace and threat should not be underestimated, while Mikhil Duka is expected to perform well in the Asian Association Championship. He has already contributed two goals and is one to watch on the right.
There will be no shortage of goals in this matchup, but the balance of victory seems to favor Kobe Victory Ship. Playing at home, they are expected to beat the Nakanishi Mariners with ease.
