The visiting Urawa Reds side should be favourites in this visit to Yokohama, as the away team holds a 5 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Yokohama nor Urawa Reds 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.
Yokohama form and stats
Yokohama have played three J-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
The fans are hoping that Yokohama will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the J-League game against Yokohama F. Marinos (placed 11th). Preceding that match was the home game against Kawasaki Frontale that was lost 1-5.
As you see from the result above, Yokohama suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Yokohama has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. As for conceded goals, Yokohama's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.
Urawa Reds form and stats
Urawa Reds have six points from their first three away games in the J-League, meaning two victories and a loss.
The attacking players of Urawa have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 218 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a J-League home defeat versus Kashiwa Reysol with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Tokyo's place.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Kashiwa Reysol was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Urawa are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Urawa struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Yokohama one win, zero draws and Urawa Reds one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
