Urawa Red Diamonds
LWWWWW 🔥

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Urawa Red Diamonds defence. Urawa Red Diamonds have been stingy, with the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous 6 clashes standing at 3. We will have to find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Team News: Urawa Red Diamonds
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Urawa Red Diamonds boss Maciej Skorża to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Kai Shibato (Knee surgery) misses out.

Team News: Gamba Osaka
Gamba Osaka boss Daniel Poyatos has not got a full squad to pick from. Genta Miura (Cruciate ligament injury) and Welton (Torn ankle ligaments) are those who can’t be considered.
💭
Prediction
We feel that Gamba Osaka might have a difficult job to register a score against this Urawa Red Diamonds outfit who we think should gain the upper hand.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Urawa Red Diamonds at the conclusion of the game.
Should be a close one.
