Vissel Kobe welcome Gamba Osaka to the Noevir Stadium for a J1 League matchday 27 fixture on Saturday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 comeback away win over Yokohama F Marinos last weekend.
They went behind to Eduardo's 42nd-minute strike while Yoshinori Muto drew the game level from the spot in first-half injury time. The 32-year-old completed his brace 20 minutes into the second half to help the visitors leave with all three points.
Gamba Osaka, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless draw away to Kashiwa Reysol.
The stalemate left them in fourth spot in the table, having garnered 46 points from 26 games. Kobe are fifth with 45 points to their name.
