Urawa Red Diamonds vs Tokyo Verdy Live Stream, Predictions (May 03)

📏 Form Guide

Urawa Red Diamonds

WLWWWW 📈

Urawa Red Diamonds will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-0 J1 League triumph versus Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the Urawa Red Diamonds rearguard. Urawa Red Diamonds have been stingy, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past six matches standing at 4.

Their previous form shows that Urawa Red Diamonds:

• are winless against Tokyo Verdy in their last 3 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 5 home league matches.

Tokyo Verdy

DLWDWW

Tokyo Verdy come into this encounter following on from a 0-1 J1 League win against Fagiano Okayama in their most recent outing.

Fixtures with Tokyo Verdy have turned out to be rather laboured affairs in recent times with the failure of forward attacks being a trademark. During their past six clashes, the very low gross goal sum of 6 has been yielded between both them and their opposition at an average goals per game of 1. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, however.

Their past results show that Tokyo Verdy:

• have not registered a win against Urawa Red Diamonds in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. Not good.
• are unbeaten in their last 6 league matches away from home.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head-to-head clashes going back to 06/07/2005 tells us that Urawa Red Diamonds have won 3 of these games and Tokyo Verdy 1, with the tally of drawn results standing at 2.

There were also plenty of goals scored in those games, 24 in all which averages out at 4 goals per meeting.
