Nagoya Grampus vs Urawa Reds: Prediction for the Match on May 24, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between Nagoya Grampus and Urawa Reds, two teams in the verge of contrasting spots. Two games in seven has raised a growing concern for Urawa’s players and Nagoya Grampus will be hopeful to have fatigue as one more ally against their heavily favoured opponents.

A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

🏠Nagoya Grampus: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LWDDD

Things are not looking great for Nagoya Grampus Eight, a bottom-placed side who will face off against one of the league elites as heavy underdogs for the contest. With only four wins in seventeen games and a deficit of six aggregate goals, it is easy to see how much work lies ahead.

Holding the fort in difficult showdowns against Okayama (0-0), Kyoto Sanga (1-1) and Avispa Fukuoka (1-1) Nagoya has pressed on to rake in six points in the last nine.

Against Fukuoka, they flunked a close 1-0 lead in the final embers to close curtains on a 1-1 stalemate.

🏁 Nagoya Grampus: Lineup

Team: The team lags behind defensively and in front of goal, the dilly-dallying has to either reduce, or instructions must be kept in place to change their tactical approach.

Players: Matheus Castro was an obvious threat against Fukuoka, hitting close to the net on several occasions and committing the opposing goalkeeper. Despite not being the goal scorer, he is the player of testing the opposition from long range.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-1-2): Pisano, Hara-Mikuni-Sato, Nakayama-Inagaki-Shiihashi-Tokumoto, Izumi, Yamaguchi-Castro

👤 Head Coach: Kenta Hasegawa

⛔ Out: Nil

✈️Urawa Reds: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WWLLW

Urawa remains in fourth spot after the 2-2 confrontation with Kawasaki Frontale in one of the featured midweek affairs against Kawasaki Frontale, a Round 13 game that was postponed due to clash with the AFC calendar.

Despite opening the scoring against Kawasaki Frontale, they eventually lagged behind in a 2-1 deficit scoreline that was leveraged in the final moments of the contest.

Goal-wise, the Urawa Red Diamonds have been prolific with twenty three goals in seventeen games, while putting up a decent defensive line to have conceded seventeen.

In the last five weeks, they have meandered through their path to accumulate two wins, two stalemates and one loss.

🏁 Urawa Reds: Lineup

Team: Urawa is a very passionate team. From their ball handling to their goal-press and the highlighted referee stare-downs, one can easily see how much the team pushes towards the top spot, despite the seven point gap between their current standings and the league leaders.

Players: Urawa’s midfield remains the engine, with Nakjima, Yasui and Kaneko playing excellently to put their hearts to a stalemate against their previous hosts, who enjoyed home advantage greatly. Goalie Nishikawa is also an honourable mention . He alone is capable of reducing the margin of the scoreline against heavy opposition - as seen last week against Kawasaki.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ishihara-Boza-Hoibraten-Naganuma, Matsumoto-Yasui- Kaneko-Nakajima-Sekine, Takahashi

👤 Head Coach: Marciej Skorza

⛔ Out: Nil
