Playing at their own ground is safe and nice for Oita Trinita, but Urawa Reds are fully intent and able to win. How will it end?
- Oita Trinita have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
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 Oita Trinita and Urawa Reds.
Urawa Reds have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
