With their 9 point advantage in the league table, Urawa Reds fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Oita Trinita.
- Urawa Reds have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Oita Trinita is in the worst form (0-0-6)
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 Urawa and Oita Trinita.
These teams have little in common geographically as Oita Trinita have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Urawa Reds form and stats
The story so far in the J-League for Urawa Reds at their home stadium (Saitama Stadium 2002) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Urawa after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Urawa Reds enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Yokohama's place. The match ended 2-1 with K. Sugimoto (2) scoring. A J-League defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Cerezo Osaka.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Urawa Reds handle that role? We have found twelve games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, two draws and five defeats.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Urawa as they have a new game in only three days, a Nabisco Cup match thankfully also at home. Shonan Bellmare are visiting.

Oita Trinita form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Oita Trinita playing as the away team in the J-League this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Oita Trinita who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Tokyo was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Trinita's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The attacking players of Trinita have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 398 minutes.
The manager T. Katanosaka was unhappy after their last game, a Nabisco Cup match played at their home ground Ōita Bank Dome. Trinita suffered a 0-1 loss to Tokyo (placed 8th). A 0-1 loss hosting Kashiwa Reysol before that.
Oita Trinita are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, five draws and seven defeats. From a total of 14 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Trinita manager T. Katanosaka as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vissel Kobe.
Goals are few and far between in Trinita's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. 5 goals have been conceded by Oita Trinita in these games.
