🏠Kawasaki Frontale: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LDLWW

Kawasaki’s return to the league so far has been nothing but glorious, having dusted themselves from the 2-1 loss to the Kashima Antlers in subsequent games against Yokohama FC (2-1) and the boys from Yodoko Sakura stands, Cerezo Osaka.

The game against Cerezo Osaka was a puzzling one, seeing how both sides asked questions through the first half, without registering any goals. However, the twelfth man stepped in late in the game to Yamada’s 67th-minute replacement, big-name Erison, who sealed the fate of his opposition in two minutes with two quick goals.

Six points gotten has sprung the side to the sixth spot, and while it looks like the dust may be settling, Coach Shigetoshi Hasebe must put all hands on deck in this match, if he hopes to continue his streak against Urawa Reds who have continually proven to be a bottleneck for the team.

The Frontale giants have a perilous stack of schedules, having played against them, and as they prepare to secure maximum points here, they are four days away from their next game against the Nerrazzurri of Gamba Osaka

🏁 Kawasaki Frontale: Lineup

Team: As is always seen in football, especially in the Japanese league, big names always deliver in moments when hopes are lost. Erison, who was a super sub last game, came in as a replacement for Yamada, who could get through Cerezo Osaka's last line. His two-goal contribution earned him the most valuable player on his team in that game.

Players: They exhibit a high level of discipline on the pitch. There are no imminent injury threats, and everyone seems to know their quota. Coach Hasebe's experience is visible in his player coordination, staying calm despite fixture congestion and a slight depression from the AFC.

Erison will start ahead of Yamada today as they look to close the game as early as they can.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Yamaguchi, Sasaki-Haydar-Takai-Wermeskerken, Yamamoto-Tachibanada, Ito-Wakizaka-Ienaga, Erison

👤 Head Coach: Shigatoshi Hasebe

⛔ Out: Nil

✈️Urawa Red Diamonds: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WWLDW

One of the best teams in the league this season, the Red Diamonds of Urawa, who have played their last five league games to rake ten points from three wins and one stalemate, have had a blast in the first seventeen games.

Last week against Tokyo FC, it was an all-out war at the Saitama Stadium, with the opposition almost proving to be more than could be handled. By the 70th minute, they were down 2-1 before Watanabe’s replacement, Tatsumoto, single-handedly changed the course of affairs with two goals in the 80th and 93rd minute, respectively. Urawa’s eventual 3-2 victory spurred them towards the fourth seat, two points behind Kyoto’s Purples, who also won their endeavours.

🏁 Urawa Red Diamonds: Lineup

Team: Urawa’s squad has a definite composition. Against Tokyo, they came from behind to secure victory, thanks to the thoughtfulness of Coach Marciej Skorza, who promptly replaced Watanabe for Taishi Matsumoto.

Player: Watanabe will be benched for Tatsumoto in this game as the team looks to uphold all assets that have proven goal-worthy in recent times. Savio also looks to start ahead of Sekine in the left wing position, while Haraguchi will remain on the bench while Ogiwara plays.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ogiwara-Hoibraten-Boza-Ishihara, Gustafson-Yasui, Savio-Tatsumoto-Okubo, Matsuo.

👤 Head Coach: Marciej Skorza

⛔ Out: Nil
