Command Analysis

Kawasaki Frontale

Current form
Kawasaki finished the last two seasons in eighth place, but in 2023 they managed to take the national cup, thanks to which the team got into the Asian Champions League, where it reached the finals. There, the team lost 0-2 to Saudi Al-Ahly. In the J-League, the club still occupies the sixth place and is five points behind today's opponent from the fourth line, with two matches left. In recent home games, Kawasaki confidently beat Yokohama (2:1) and Cerezo Osaka (2:1). Now the wards of Shigetoshi Hasebe are waiting for two more home matches.

Gesiel, Kobayashi, Kuruyama, Lee and Miura will miss the match due to injuries.

Approximate composition: Yamaguchi - Sasaki, Maruyama, Takai, van Vermeskeren - Yamamoto, Kawahara- Marsinho, Wakizaka, Yenaga - Yamada

Urawa Red Diamonds

Current form
Urawa was deprived of the fight for high places last season, but now it looks like the club can compete for medals again. The visitors occupy the fourth place in the standings and are two points behind third Kyoto, with one match left. Recently, the team even posted a five-game winning streak, which was interrupted by a home loss to Gamba Osaka on May 6. Then the team from Saitama drew with Albirex Niigata (1:1) and scored a hard-fought home victory over Tokyo with a score of 3:2.

Trends
The bid is the number 2 in the final bill
This pattern has worked in the last six matches of the hosts.
2.23The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
The hosts have scored two goals in each of the last two matches.
9.50Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has played in three of the last five away matches.
2.05Tip and bets
The hosts were a little behind the leaders, as they missed matches due to their participation in the Champions League. Now the club can focus on playing in the championship and try to make up for lost time. Urawa is a serious opponent, but Kawasaki is playing great on its own field and will do everything to please its fans once again. The guests look a little less confident, especially in away matches, so we see the hosts as the favorites of this match.
Our prediction is that Kawasaki will win in 1.98
Bet on the total
The teams are close to each other in the standings, so they will certainly prepare well. We believe that the match will turn out to be stubborn, but you shouldn't expect a lot of dangerous moments, as the opponents will try to avoid mistakes at their own gates as much as possible.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.88
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense, so we should not expect a large number of flank attacks. A defensive style of play is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 goals per 1.70
