🏠Urawa Reds: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: DLDWL

The 2-3 loss to Tokyo FC last week only confirmed suspicions of a disheveled dressing room. Despite going into halftime with a clear 2-1 lead, the tides turned against them in the second half, which saw them tank from leaders to chasers. Currently, they are ranked at the eighth spot, and need at least two league wins to make a significant difference.

In three recent league contests at home, the Saitama grounds (so far) have been defended against defeat, with two wins and one stalemate. However, in the games they have won, they conceded first, only to eventually win with comebacks.  

It is not Urawa’s style to lead in the first half, which was why the first half lead against Tokyo was a bit suspicious. Having spent themselves in the first half, they spent the majority of the second half chasing. 

🏁 Urawa Reds: Lineup

Team: For now, it is safe to say that the Urawa are not fully settled and are missing the click they need to possess confidence once more. There is no better place to win, if not at the Saitama grounds, in front of familiar faces, who are expecting a quick reversal of fortune. 

Players: Goalie Nishikawa needs to step up in his performance, or step down from the team No 1 position. Against Tokyo, it looked like they had no goal-stopper, as almost every shot looked like a goal. Despite Ryoma Watanabe’s efforts to hold the midfield, he was severely let down by the sloppiness of his defensive teammates who instead of defending their lead became complacent. Yasui and Savio also held up their bargaining ends in the midfield. 

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ogiwara-Hoibraten-Boza-Ishihara, Gustafson-Yasui, Savio-Watanabe-Kaneko, Komori

👤 Head Coach: Marciej Skorza

⛔ Out: Nil

✈️ Shonan Bellmare: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: DLDLD

The 3-3 performance against the Cherry Blossoms of Cerezo Osaka last week was an unexpected playout, with super-sub Phellype converting a last minute penalty to tip the scales equal. 

Shonan has been unimpressive over the last five league exhibitions barely scavenging for points in three stalemates and two stalemates. 

Away from home, their last two games did not produce victories and despite the fact that they have a strong reputation against the Diamonds of Urawa, it seems clear that the winds of victory today may bring the chills of loss - well except they prove everyone wrong. 

🏁 Shonan Bellmare: Lineup

Team: Shonan continues to fight against relegation, pulling all resources to ensure they stay afloat, far from the bottom - if not clinching a decent midfield placement. Shonan realises they are cornered and so they play with desperation - which is impressive seeing how the fans were almost getting used to losses in the earlier stages of the season.  

Players: With an assist and a goal against Cerezo , it was quite easy to acclaim Suzuki as the most influential player of the team - despite not clinching the player of the game. A lot is at stake here, and if they hold on, the propensity for a mid table finish is not all lost.

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Popp, Suzuki-Ono-Matsumura, Fuji-Okuno-Okumo-Ota,Onose-Hiraoka, Suzuki

👤 Head Coach: Satoshi Yamaguchi

⛔ Out: Nil

🎯 Urawa Reds vs Shonan Bellmare Match Prediction 23 July 2025

Since Urawa has not won against Shonan in three recent meetings, they will make sure not to repeat the mistake they made against Tokyo and settle for an early first half lead; as these sorts of games are not sprint races. but marathon. The most important factor is not to concede or win - early.

Urawa’s strikers were poor last week and couldn't stand out against the opposing defenders as against Shonan, whose strikers are unforgiving in front of goal. Coach Skorza must find a way to polish the final line and relieve the midfielders of the burden of scoring, if he intends to even remain in his position. 

How would all these influence the game?

🔥 My prediction is for the Urawa to Score Two Goals at 2.05 odds from 1xbet;

🔥 Our betting tip will be the BTTS - Yes option at a coefficient of 1.84 odds from Bet365

🔥 Lastly, I will pick the O2.5 goals as my final choice at the coefficient of 2.05 odds from the 1xbet bookmaker.
