- 10' Shunya Suganuma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 7 Yellow cards this season.

- 25' Kim Younggwon has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 11 appearances.
- 27' Patric has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 27 minutes.
- 32' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Takashi Usami has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Gamba Osaka side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gamba Osaka that had 415 games and scored 387 goals.
