Gameday in Kobe for the round two between Kobe & Avispa.

Kobe will be without key defender Kikuchi, Iniesta played few days ago, he started on the bench but when he entered he looked fit and he was decisive.

Avispa on their side will be without Yuya Yamagishi.

It's gonne be the third game of the season for Kobe, as the midweek game was played in advance because of AFC CL later. On the first clash against Nagoya they lost 2-0 but they hadn't the best line up and Nagoya still a top team in Japan. Second game was a big clash against Urawa, they got a draw, they would have deserve the win even more because Urawa was with 10 so they were close to take advantage of that.

On their side Avispa started the season against the newly promoted team Iwata, they were a bit stronger but they still didn't dominate that much, I expected them to perform better against such a team, the goal conceded was very unlucky tho.

Kobe has a lot of ambition for this season to be champion and also in AFC CL, they have a very solid roster, defensively with Makino, it will be even more stronger when Kikuchi will be back. In front with Muto & Osako we have really high qualities for Japan. Samper as defensive midfielder, Krkic to play behind the offense.

I expect a solid game by Kobe and a win at the end.

神户和福冈的第二轮比赛日在神户举行。

神户将缺少关键后卫菊池，伊涅斯塔几天前上场，他在替补席上首发，但当他上场时，他看起来很健康，而且他很果断。

福冈黄蜂将缺少 Yuya Yamagishi。

对于神户来说，这将是本赛季的第三场比赛，因为后来因为亚冠联赛，周中比赛提前进行了。在与名古屋的第一次交锋中，他们以 0-2 失利，但他们没有最好的阵容，名古屋仍然是日本的顶级球队。第二场比赛是与浦和的一场激烈交锋，他们打成平局，他们更应该赢得胜利，因为浦和有 10 分，所以他们接近利用这一优势。

福冈在本赛季开始时对阵升班马岩田，他们的实力稍强，但他们仍然没有那么强，我希望他们在对阵这样的球队时表现更好，失球很不幸。

神户对本赛季的冠军以及亚冠联赛都有很大的野心，他们有一个非常稳固的阵容，有牧野在防守，菊池回来后会更加强大。在 Muto 和 Osako 面前，有很强的实力。桑佩尔出任防守型中场，克尔基奇在进攻端打球。 我期待科比打出一场稳定的比赛，并在最后取得胜利。
