It is not a huge surprise that the odds on Kobe, which started at 1.55, are now above 1.80 on Asian markets.
Given that they have seven points from the first three games, Kobe's motivation is seriously called into question. With just two points separating them from second place, the league is currently their top priority.
We will not see top Kobe players like Muto, Sakai, or top scorer Osako on the field today. Their performance should be severely impacted by that.
With three victories in their last three Champions League games, Gwangju is currently flying high.
