Only a few games have been played in the J-League so far, with Urawa Reds placed 6th and Kashiwa Reysol sitting in the 12th position.
It's no vacation for neither Urawa Reds nor Kashiwa Reysol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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.
In their previous game, the manager T. Ōtsuki led his Urawa to a defeat in the J-League match away at Tokyo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Saitama Stadium 2002. Ahead of that match, Urawa Reds won a home game hosting Kashima Antlers (1-0).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Urawa Reds have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost five.
The manager T. Ōtsuki will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Yokohama in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Urawa Reds's 2 home games: 1 goal, 0 conceded.
Kashiwa Reysol form and stats
Kashiwa Reysol have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the J-League were 11 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats from 21 fixtures.
Kashiwa Reysol are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the J-League against Shonan Bellmare (placed 17th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kawasaki Frontale wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kashiwa Reysol playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were two Kashiwa Reysol wins, zero draws and zero defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Kashiwa are hosting Vegalta Sendai in the J-League only four days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Kashiwa Reysol has managed 1 goal and let in 3 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Urawa six wins, one draw and Kashiwa Reysol three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
