Match announcement
Yokohama F.Marinos
Current form
Yokohama was the champion of Japan a few years ago, but at the moment it is not even in the top 10 (13th place). Apparently, John Hutchins' charges are in a game crisis, because in the last five rounds they have scored only one point. It seems that there are no injured players, but the game is still not going well.
The team hasn't impressed in the Asian Champions League either: only one win in three rounds. The fans are also upset by their exit from the Japan Cup last Sunday. First, the Reds allowed Gamba to equalize the score at the end of the match, and then they couldn't take the game to a penalty shootout, conceding in the 121st minute. In short, this season has been a complete disappointment.
Disqualifications and injuries
All football players are in action.
Interesting trends for betting
- Yokohama have failed to win three games in a row at home
- The hosts have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last six meetings.
Estimated lineup : Likura - Nagato, Hatanaka, Kamijima, Matsubara - Watanabe, Nishimura, Amano - Yan, Anderson Lopez, Elber.
Urawa Red Diamonds
Current form
In the last round, Urawa broke its four-game losing streak by beating Kashiwa (1:0). Thus, the team gained 42 points and, based on additional indicators, is ahead of its upcoming opponent in the ranking, being one line higher (12th place). At the beginning of the season, this was not the result expected from the team, but so far the head coach, Maciej Skorzy, has not been able to raise the game of his players to a higher level.
Urawa performs terribly away from home: only four wins in 17 away matches. The team currently plays in only one tournament - J. League-1, and even there it does not perform well.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hobreiten will not appear on the field due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Urawa have lost four of their last five matches
- The visitors have conceded in four of the last five meetings
Approximate lineup : Nishikawa - Ohata, Heibraten, Inue - Ishihara, Gustaffson, Yasui, Sekine - Okubo, Watanabe, Linssen.

1.72Tip and bets
Both teams have significant problems in the defense. The hosts have conceded in five of the last six games, while the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five matches. All of this suggests that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard after the final whistle.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.55
Bet on the outcome
We agree with the bookmakers that there is no clear favorite in this match. The hosts are a slight favorite only because of the home field factor. Having weighed all the pros and cons in this meeting, we will bet that the winner will not be revealed in the duel.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.60
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will spend a lot of time in the center of the field, because it is unlikely that anyone will force the events and run headlong forward, since both the defense and the attack have huge holes that cannot be patched.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.65 .
