Sanfrecce Hiroshima is undefeated in four league matches after beating Tosu Sandwiches 2-0 two weeks ago.
In the past few weeks, Sanfrecce Hiroshima has added a lot of attacking options to their squad. In addition to Sudilio's recent performance, Makoto Manda has also returned from injury, and the team has also received attacking players such as Zulia Mako and Ruji Kato to join the team, so the forward line is quite complete.
Rikuji Kato's role is especially important to Sanfrecce's offense, and when he is in full form, he has the ability to create threats from different positions. As for the goalkeeper, Kei Osako returns to the club after being selected for the Japan national team, and he is sure to have a lot of confidence.
Kobe Victory defeated Kyoto Budokai 2-1 in their last game and managed to move up to the top of the league table once again.
Despite their exit from the JEF Cup before the match, Kobe showed strong psychological qualities in the win, and there are several experienced players in the team who can ensure that they send positive energy to their teammates, as they are now aiming for the first JEF Cup title in the club's history.
Isao Osako has been playing well for Kobe Victory this season, but the fact that two other players scored in their last league win proves that the team has other players up front who can pose a threat. Hiroshima Sanhang are good at defending against overhead kicks and are quite tough, but I think Sonnenberg's speed can contribute to Kobe's offense this season.
