The Red Diamonds disappointed greatly against Nagoya Grampus last week at the Toyota Stadium in an explosive pitch encounter that saw them fail to foster a second-half inertia-breaker, giving room to fatigue in the eventual 2-1 shocking loss. While Fatigue remains a growing concern, Marciej Skorza must explore other options in the lineup to compensate for stamina losses due to player exhaustion.
Although there has been a slip in the performance of their Red Diamonds, their home form remains solid with five wins and one loss in the last six home games.
Urawa’s stamina problems look to end soon as they will face their next opponents, Yokohama Fulies on the first of may, after four days.
Urawa Red Diamonds: Lineup
Team: The team has not been brilliant in front of goals recently, with a lot of midfield footwork which waters down in the opposition’s face. While they must hope to capitalise on the set pieces gained, the defenses must seal off all avenues of goal threats to even the odds of eventual decency.
Players: Ryoma Watanabe goal in the early moments of the second half proved inadequate over the rest of the game, which indicates a need for some closure in the defensive setup. Also, the right hand side of the lineup has proven to the the weak link with Naganuma, charged with the right wing-back and Okubo, the attacking right winger needing the hairdryer treatment to sharpen their focus and attention.
Predicted Lineup(4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ogiwara-Hoibraten-Inoue-Naganuma, Gustafson-Matsumoto, Haraguchi-Savio-Okubo, Matsuo.
Head Coach: Marciej Skorza
⛔ Out: Nil
