Only a few games have been played in the J-League so far, with Urawa Reds placed 13th and Consadole Sapporo sitting in the 14th position.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a J-League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Yokohama F. Marinos, so at least Urawa Reds are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Consadole Sapporo, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
Urawa Reds form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Urawa Reds's two home games in the J-League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Saitama Stadium 2002.
Urawa faced defeat in their previous match, away at Yokohama F. Marinos (0-3). Before that, Urawa had a home game versus Yokohama which ended with a victory 2-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Kawasaki Frontale are coming to town in four days.
At Saitama Stadium 2002, Urawa Reds has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Consadole Sapporo form and stats
It's not happening yet for Consadole Sapporo on their J-League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Consadole are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Consadole lost away at Sanfrecce Hiroshima (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Nagoya Grampus wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A quick return to home after this game, as Consadole are hosting Vissel Kobe in the J-League only three days away.
It's early days yet, but Consadole Sapporo has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
