Urawa Red Diamonds will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 2-3 J1 100 Year Vision League losing effort in their last game against Yokohama F. Marinos.

In that game, Urawa Red Diamonds had 61% possession and 15 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Urawa Red Diamonds was Takuro Kaneko (28′). Yokohama F. Marinos had 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Riku Yamane (21′), Kota Watanabe (62′), Jun Amano (79′) and Jeison Quiñónes (90′ Own goal) scored for Yokohama F. Marinos.

It has not been often in recent times that Urawa Red Diamonds have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Urawa Red Diamonds have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 11 goals during that time. Let’s see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Kawasaki Frontale will come into the clash after a 2-1 J1 100 Year Vision League win with the downing of JEF United Chiba in their most recent match.

In that match, Kawasaki Frontale managed 47% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Kawasaki Frontale, the scorers were Yuki Yamamoto (5′) and Marcinho (89′). At the other end, JEF United Chiba had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target. Rikuto Ishio (84′) scored for JEF United Chiba.

Indicating their partiality to action-packed matches, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the last 6 matches in which Kawasaki Frontale have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals per fixture. Opposition teams have got 12 from this total.

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Urawa Red Diamonds manager Maciej Skorża to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Hiiro Komori (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) is sidelined.

 Team News: Kawasaki Frontale

Kawasaki Frontale boss Shigetoshi Hasebe has not got a full squad to pick from. Hiroto Taniguchi (Hamstring injury), Akihiro Ienaga (Calf injury), Yu Kobayashi (Calf injury), Kazuya Konno (Calf injury), Asahi Sasaki (Hamstring injury), Yuto Ozeki (Torn ankle ligaments), Ryuki Osa (Inflammation of pubic bone) and Shuto Yamaichi (Ill) miss out here.

 Prediction

We think that Kawasaki Frontale will have to play well to register a score against this Urawa Red Diamonds outfit who we think might well score at least once to put them ahead.

We therefore see a very even contest with a 2-1 victory for Urawa Red Diamonds at full-time.
