Urawa Red Diamonds progressed to the next round of the J.League YBC Levain Cup as they defeated third-tier Gainare Tottori 5-2 away from home in the second round.

Prior to that, they were outplayed by Gamba Osaka in the ninth round of the J1 League, losing 1-0 at home. This marked their fourth defeat of the season in nine matches played thus far, which goes a long way toward showing that the most celebrated club in Japanese football has not had an impressive start. The Reds are currently on a two-match losing streak and will be seeking to get back to winning ways in this upcoming encounter. 

With 11 points accumulated from nine matches, Urawa Red Diamonds sits in twelfth place in the J1 League standings, level on points with 13th-placed Avispa Fukuoka and three points adrift of seventh-placed Yokohama F. Marinos.

Nagoya Grampus, on the other hand, recorded a narrow 2-1 victory against Cerezo Osaka in the ninth round of the J1 League. This comes after booking their place in the next round of the J.League YBC Levain Cup, defeating third-tier side Omiya Ardija 2-0 away from home in the second round thanks to Patric's brace.

In the league, they are currently on a two-match winning streak and have avoided defeat in their last six matches (W5, D1), having been on a three-match losing streak without scoring a single goal.

With 16 points accumulated from nine matches, Nagoya Grampus sits in fifth place in the J1 League standings, one point ahead of sixth-placed Cerezo Osaka and three points behind first-placed Machida Zelvia.

Despite being favored to secure three points at home, the Urawa Red Diamonds cannot be relied upon at the moment due to their recent faltering performance.
