Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Urawa Red Diamonds manager Maciej Skorża to contend with. Kai Shibato (Knee surgery) misses out for this game.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Shonan Bellmare will need to apply a lot of pressure to hit the back of the net against this Urawa Red Diamonds outfit who we think will likely gain the upper hand.

That’s why we have predicted a 0-1 advantage for Urawa Red Diamonds at the end of the 90 minutes.

Little in this one.
