Due to a mostly available group, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Urawa Red Diamonds boss Maciej Skorża to contend with. Kai Shibato (Knee surgery) won’t be playing here.
💡 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Urawa Red Diamonds will need to apply a lot of pressure to break down this Kawasaki Frontale side who should just have the edge.
We therefore fancy a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Kawasaki Frontale when the referee blows for full-time.
It should be a good one.
