J.League Match of the Week: Vissel continue pursuit of another title against FC Tokyo

Vissel Kobe have stalked the top of the Meiji Yasuda J1 League all season, biding their time to make a run for their second consecutive title. Now, they have hit a full sprint with six consecutive wins and sit just a point out of first place.

With another crown so close, the pressure is on Vissel to make it seven in a row on Friday at 19:00 JST when they square off against FC Tokyo live on JLeague.co and broadcasters around the world.

Vissel are excellent at the back and front, ranking second in J1 in both goals scored and conceded. Last season’s stars Yuya Osako and Yoshinori Muto are hitting top form and Taisei Miyashiro has been a top notch addition to the squad, giving Vissel a fearsome trio that could carry them to another title.

FC Tokyo are not in the thick of the title race, but they are in terrific form, with a four-match unbeaten streak taking them up to sixth place.

Which red-hot team will keep it going in Kobe?
