Kyoto Sanga have some lost ground to recover from their 14th place, and the task starts versus Urawa Reds. Read more!
- Kyoto Sanga haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Urawa Reds have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in J-League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kyoto Sanga and Urawa Reds.
Kyoto Sanga form and stats
With 2 J-League wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Kyoto Sanga are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Kyoto with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Kashiwa Reysol game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Kyoto Sanga are returning here after guesting Gamba Osaka in a Nabisco Cup match and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Consadole Sapporo (1-2).The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Kyoto Sanga here at Sanga Stadium by Kyocera in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Urawa Reds form and stats
As the visiting team in J-League matches, Urawa Reds have produced an overall stat of 2-3-2 so far. One point away has become something of a habit for Urawa who have played out draws in their last three away games.
The supporters enjoyed Urawa Reds's previous game versus Kawasaki Frontale, a Nabisco Cup win (2-1) played at home.
Ahead of that match was the J-League away draw versus Avispa Fukuoka that ended 0-0.A quick return to home after this game, as Urawa Reds are hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the J-League only four days away.
The attacking power of Urawa Reds when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Urawa as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head to head totals (for the preceeding ten meetings): Kyoto Sanga won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Urawa Reds got five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
