Urawa Red Diamonds haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 versus opposition teams during their last 6 matches. In those games, Urawa Red Diamonds have also seen the number of goals against them come to 6. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Urawa Red Diamonds:

• haven't lost in the league to Nagoya Grampus in their previous 2 matches.
• have not emerged victorious against Nagoya Grampus in their previous 7 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 4 league games. Fans are getting restless.
