Urawa Red Diamonds
LWDDWL ⚖
Since a loss in their previous game against Avispa Fukuoka in J1 League action, Urawa Red Diamonds and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, Urawa Red Diamonds managed 55% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Avispa Fukuoka got 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Yuto Iwasaki (68') scored for Avispa Fukuoka.
The stats don’t lie, and Urawa Red Diamonds have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in total. In defence, Urawa Red Diamonds have seen their frailties exposed. Regardless, we must now wait to see whether that trend will persist in this game.
Going into this one, Urawa Red Diamonds have not won away from home in their last 10 league matches. It's not a good run at all.

📋 Team News: Machida Zelvia
Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Machida Zelvia boss Go Kuroda to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Takumi Narasaka (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.
📰 Team News: Urawa Red Diamonds
In an otherwise available group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Urawa Red Diamonds gaffer Maciej Skorża to contend with. Kai Shibato (Knee surgery) won’t be in action.
🧠 Prediction
We think that Urawa Red Diamonds may not find it easy to see themselves scoring against this Machida Zelvia team who we think will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Machida Zelvia at the end of this one.
Should be interesting.
