As part of the eighth round of the Japanese J-League, a duel between Urawa Red Diamonds and Shimizu S-Pals will take place. The guests have become one of the newcomers to the league and surprisingly look good enough here and occupy the fifth place. The hosts are still in the bottom half of the table, in 13th position. Which of the rivals will be stronger on the second of April? The answer is in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Urawa Red Diamonds

Current form
Urawa is still the average player in the Japanese championship and it's not possible to take a swing at something more. The club finished last season in 13th place, and the start of the current J-League draw does not promise a clear improvement in the situation. The team finished four out of seven matches in a draw, and managed to win only once - on March 8, the team from Saitama managed to beat Okayama (1-0) on their own field. Prior to that, Maciej Skorza's team suffered two defeats in a row, losing to Senan (1:2) and Kashiwa (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Kai Shibato was injured in the home team.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last eight matches.
- In each of the last three matches, the hosts scored one goal.
Approximate composition: Nishikawa - Sekine, Danilo, Heybraten, Ogiwara - Yasui, Gustafson - Kaneko, Matsumoto, Mateus Savio - Tiago

Shimizu S-Pulse

Current form
Shimizu played in the second league last season, which he confidently won, beating his nearest competitor by six points. After entering the J-League 1, the team immediately began to prove that it was no accident that they were here. The club started the championship with victories over Tokyo Verdi (1-0) and Albirex Niigata (2-0). Then the pace of scoring decreased slightly, but the guests still remain in fifth position, which is an excellent result for a beginner. In the last round, the team from Shizuoka managed to win a crushing victory over Senan (3:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Sena Saito is injured. The entrance to the field of Rheon Yamahara is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the four away matches ended in a draw.
- The team scored three goals in each of the last two matches.
Approximate composition: Oki - Takagi, Takahashi, Sumiyoshi - Yoshida, Mateus Bueno, Jensen, Kitazume - Inui, Matsuzaki - Kitagawa

This pattern has worked in five of the last six away matches.
1.64Tip and bets
The guests made a great start to this championship, and in the last round they scored a crushing victory, breaking a four-match winless streak in the J-League. Having regained confidence in his abilities, Shimizu will certainly be able to achieve a positive result in the away match against Urawa. It's not a fact that they will be able to win an away victory, but at least the newcomer should achieve a draw.
Our betting tip is that Shimizu will not lose in 1.77
Bet on the total
The hosts score quite rarely - only five goals in seven rounds. The guests also keep in mind their elite league rookie status and try to act defensively. We believe that two pragmatic teams will not be able to produce an effective performance in a face-to-face match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals per 1.70
Betting on corners
We believe that the teams will focus on defense, so we do not recommend betting on a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.96
