An interesting theme in more recent Urawa Red Diamonds games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their previous 6 clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a losing one. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, however.

🔮 Prediction
Here, we’re thinking that Urawa Red Diamonds might well have a job on their hands to breach the defence of this Kashima Antlers side who we think will likely be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 0-1 win for Kashima Antlers at the end of the 90.
Little in this one.
