With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Urawa Reds fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Consadole Sapporo.

Insights:
  • Consadole Sapporo have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Urawa Reds have less rest than Consadole Sapporo in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a J-League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Kawasaki Frontale, so at least Urawa are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Consadole Sapporo have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
