Match announcement
Yokohama F.Marinos
Current Form
A few years ago, Yokohama was the champion of Japan, but currently, they are not even in the top 10 (13th place). It seems John Hutchinson's team is in a slump, having earned just one point in the last five rounds. There are no injured players, yet the game isn't coming together.
In the Asian Champions League, the team is also underwhelming with only one win in three rounds. Fans are also disappointed by their exit from the Japan Cup last Sunday. Initially, the Reds allowed Gamba to equalize at the end of the match, then failed to reach the penalty shootout, conceding in the 121st minute. In short, this season has been a complete disappointment.
Suspensions and Injuries

Urawa Red Diamonds
Current Form
In the last round, Urawa ended their four-game losing streak with a victory over Kashiwa (1-0). This win brought their total to 42 points, allowing them to surpass their upcoming opponent in the standings, placing them in 12th position. At the start of the season, expectations were higher for the team, but head coach Maciej Skorża has yet to elevate his squad's performance to a higher level.
Urawa has struggled significantly in away games, securing only four wins in 17 away matches. Currently, the team is competing in just one tournament, the J1 League, and their performance there has been less than stellar.

We agree with the bookmakers that there is no clear favorite in this matchup. The home team is a slight favorite only due to the home-field advantage. After weighing all the pros and cons, we predict that the match will end without a winner.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.60
Bet on Corners
It's likely that both teams will spend a lot of time in the midfield, as neither is expected to rush forward recklessly. Both defense and attack have significant gaps that remain unaddressed.
