The Vissel Kobe team will challenge the Barcelona team in a Friendly Match in Japan National Stadium Stadium, Tokyo on Tuesday, June 06, 2023. For streaming coverage of Vissel Kobe vs Barcelona, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Before entering the 2023 summer break, Barcelona will face the Japanese team, Vissel Kobe in a friendly match in Tokyo on Tuesday night this week. Currently, apart from Iniesta (former Barca star), Vissel Kobe does not have any other big players in the world of football. Therefore, the difference in strength between the two teams was extremely obvious.
Barcelona and Vissel Kobe met in a friendly match in 2019. The match, which took place four years ago, was won by Barcelona with a score of 2-0 thanks to two goals from young player Carles Sayol. However, Barcelona’s core team at that time still had big names like Lionel Messi, Ivan Rakitic, Jordi Alba.
In the upcoming meeting with Vissel Kobe, Barcelona will be without the out-of-contract Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, while Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo and Pedri also cannot travel to Japan due to injury. Several other pillars such as Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi also needed time to rest after a tiring season.
Because of this, Vissel Kobe has a greater chance of positive results in the tribute match for midfielder Andres Iniesta. The Barcelona legend joined Vissel Kobe in 2018 and is confirmed to be leaving in July 2023.
Recently, Vissel Kobe has been in good form. They are enjoying an impressive unbeaten streak, with seven straight matches without defeat, including five wins.
The team led by defender Yoshida just won 3-2 over Tokyo in their last game. They have collected a total of 33 points from 15 matches, lead the J1 League standings and have the opportunity to win the title.
Vissel Kobe took 13th place at the end of last season’s J-League 1 standings. This shows their progress this season. Vissel Kobe will return to domestic action when they take on Cerezo Osaka on June 10, but right now, all their attention is on their clash with the La Liga champions.
Barcelona just finished their La Liga season with a game against Celta before flying straight to Japan to face Vissel Kobe. They lost 1-2 to Celta Vigo.
Barcelona failed in the Champions League and Copa del Rey this season, but they easily won the title in La Liga. With a higher level, Barcelona is predicted to beat Vissel Kobe.
