Key Players
- Matheus Jesus tops the team’s scoring charts with 16 goals in 32 J2 League 2025 matches, but V-Varen Nagasaki score a lot of goals as a team and have enough weapons to make the game a positive one for the home fans.
- But with Yoshiki Torikai providing a focal point in attack with nine J2 League 2025 goals in 27 games and Yamato Naito having netted three in his last five for the club, Kofu can be dangerous in transition.

Prediction
- The V-Varen Nagasaki vs Ventforet Kofu prediction points to the home side’s recent form (five games unbeaten) and home form (two games, four points) as reasons to believe they can take all three points in this game, but they haven’t been able to beat Kofu in their last two home meetings.
- Kofu’s 2022 Emperor’s Cup triumph was built on their reputation for not buckling under pressure, so we wouldn’t count them out in a potentially cagey game.
