Now, Tottenham are set to commence their Asia tour, with a Vissel Kove vs Tottenham match awaiting.

Both sides will be eager to put on a show. After all, it is a completely rare occasion that both sides have the opportunity to meet with each other.

Vissel Kobe Team News

The pre-season friendly comes at an interesting time, since it is not technically "pre-season" in Japan, with Vissel Kobe's campaign still ongoing. Therefore, they are not expected to field their usual strongest lineup, but it remains a great opportunity for Vissel Kobe to keep up match fitness and play against European competition.

Vissel Kobe will be without midfielder Mitsuki Saito, unavailable through a long-term injury. Also not available to Ushi is Gotoku Sakai, who is also expected on the treatment table for some time.

Predicted Vissel Kobe lineup vs Tottenham: Maekawa; Hirose, Yamakawa, Thuler, Hatsuse; Ideguchi, Ogihara, Sasaki; Muto, Osako, Kikuchi
