In this week 1 match on the 18th of February, Vissel Kobe will host Avispa Fukuoka in a meeting of these two J-League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Vissel Kobe has not played yet this season, and neither has Avispa Fukuoka.
Vissel Kobe is starting their season after ending last season at 13th place, while Avispa Fukuoka is playing their first match this season after last season’s 14th place finish.
