The Denka Big Swan saw Niigata play a feisty game against Tokyo FC last week in what seemed to be an explosive affair with five total goals, where their two goals proved inadequate to secure victory.

Albirex Niigata has been terrible on their home turf this season, with the home fans still waiting for victory after five home games, which produced three losses and two stalemates.

The team needs to focus on defense lines, which were battered against FC Tokyo, with the opposing strikers leaving them overrun, despite the efforts put in during the week to cushion losses.

Albirex Niigata: Lineup

Rancid rumours are beginning to surround Daisuke Kimori’s job at the Denka Big Swan, with frustration surrounding his recent results. While a lot is expected to change, he plays his traditional 4-4-2 formation, leaving two men upfront to secure goals, four four players scramble around the midfield for opportunities.

Predicted Lineup(4-4-2): Yoshimitsu, Horigome-Inamura-Geria-Fujiwara, Okumura-Akiyama-Arai-Komi, Hasegawa-Ono

Head Coach: Daisike Kimori

Recent Form: WWWWL

The disappointment for Urawa last week was big, following how a win would have cemented them in the league’s lead. In what seemed like an unbelievable twist of fate, they fell to the Nerazzurri of Gamba Osaka in a nail-biting 1-0 encounter. To make it worse, they fell to lose on their home turf, the Saitama house.

Urawa paid for their near misses and close calls with loss, stemming from the visitors who capitalized on their fewer chances. Also, their defense has little confidence, losing the ball even without pressure.

The team will seek to right their wrongs in this game after the disappointing drop from the front seat.

Urawa Red Diamonds: Lineup

Urawa Reds played the game against Gamba Osaka with a tone of levity, and the results played away from their grasp. Their false sense of security cost them dearly, and while Maciej Skorza looks to right all wrongs, it will be pertinent for his boys to seek victory from the early stages.

Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Nagaruma-Holbratan-Boza-Ishihara, Yasui-Matsumoto, Savio-Watanabe-Kaneko, Matsuo

Head Coach: Marciej Skorza
