Only 2 rounds till the end of the J1 League and Vissel Kobe remains at the top, but without margin to fail.

They struggled a lot to win against Urawa in their last round, conceding the equalizer at 91’ and scoring the winning goal at 96’. However, they showed that they coped very well with the pressure and pushed till the end, so that victory gave them a lot of morale and confidence to afford the end of the season.

Their main competitors for the title are Yokohama, who drew against Albirex Niigata so are one point below Vissel Kobe. This means that by winning this fixture, Vissel Kobe would be the winners of the title, in front of their fans at their own stadium. What’s better than this?

In Yuya Osako Vissel have JD1’s top scorer and a real game changer though, and having scored the decisive goal against Urawa he will once again be their key attacking player here. He has scored 22 goals so far.

On the other hand, Nagoya Grampus lost 2-1 to Shonan Bellmare in the last round of JD1 games, leaving them with just one win in their last nine matches. they are 5th on the table and although they still have some chances for AFC Champions League 2, it’s very difficult because they have 2 rivals above who are 1 and 3 points above.

Nagoya has lacked organisation of late, and the sense of dynamism they had until the summer has gradually dropped off throughout the team as a whole. Defensively, too, Nagoya aren’t anywhere near as solid as they were earlier in the season, and they will need to tighten up here to keep Kobe and Osako in check. In that area, I expect Shinnosuke Nakatani to be Nagoya’s most important player.

Nagoya is one of the worst teams in the J1 League lately, with relegation numbers. Furthermore, they are a very weak traveler with 9 defeats in 16 games, the same as bottom Yokohama.

That battle could prove crucial to determining the victor here, and bearing in mind the current condition of each team I think home advantage should just about swing the game in Kobe’s favour and enable them to take all three points.

Vissel Kobe already beat Nagoya 0:1 in the Cup played in May, while in the previous league game (in May too) they suffered an unlucky defeat 2:2. Vissel Kobe were leading 0:2 and dominating the game, but Nagoya found their chance after a red card to Mitsuki Saito, scoring the equalizer in the last action of the game at 98’.

Guests have much more motivation, a much better squad and I’m expecting them to win this fixture and celebrate the title with their fans.

离J1联赛结束只有2轮了，科比仍然保持在榜首，但没有失败的余地。

在上一轮对阵浦和的比赛中，他们付出了很大的努力，在91 '时被扳平比分，并在96 '时打进制胜球。然而，他们表现得很好地应对了压力，并坚持到了最后，所以这场胜利给了他们很大的士气和信心，以承受赛季的结束。

他们的主要竞争对手是横滨队，他们战平了新潟队，因此比神户队落后一分。这意味着，如果赢得这场比赛，科比将成为冠军，在他们自己的球场，在他们的球迷面前。还有什么比这更好的呢?

维塞尔拥有日本队的最佳射手和真正的比赛改变者，在对阵浦和的比赛中打进了决定性的一球，他将再次成为日本队的关键进攻球员。到目前为止，他已经进了22个球。

另一方面，在JD1的最后一轮比赛中，名古屋格兰普斯队以2比1不敌湘南贝尔梅尔队，在最近的9场比赛中只取得了1场胜利。他们目前在积分榜上排名第五，虽然他们仍然有机会进入亚冠联赛第二阶段，但这非常困难，因为他们有两个领先他们1分和3分的对手。

名古屋最近缺乏组织，他们直到夏天才有活力的感觉在整个团队中逐渐消失。在防守端，名古屋也不像赛季初那样稳固，他们需要加强防守来控制科比和大阪。在这方面，我希望中谷信之助成为名古屋最重要的球员。

名古屋是J1联赛中最近表现最差的球队之一。此外，他们是一个非常弱的旅行者，16场比赛9场失利，和垫底的横滨一样。

这场比赛可能是决定胜负的关键，考虑到两队目前的状况，我认为主场优势应该会让比赛朝着有利于科比的方向发展，让他们拿到三分。

在5月份的杯赛中，科比已经以0:1击败了名古屋，而在之前的联赛中(也是在5月份)，他们遭遇了2:2的不幸失败。科比以0:2领先并控制了比赛，但名古屋在齐藤光木吃到红牌后找到了机会，在比赛的最后一场比赛中扳平了比分。

客队更有动力，阵容更强，我期待他们赢得这场比赛，和球迷一起庆祝冠军。
