Osaka vs KofuPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Osaka and Ventforet Kofu also meet in a J-League Cup knockout tie, with no league table involved. Osaka come from a 1-2 loss at Shimizu S-pulse and a 2-2 draw with FC Ryukyu, but before that had beaten Nara Club 4-1 and Parceiro Nagano 4-2. Ventforet Kofu have lost three of their last four, including away defeats at Blaublitz Akita (0-3) and Matsumoto Yamaga (0-3), sandwiched around a 3-1 win at Consadole Sapporo. There is no head-to-head record between the two teams. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
