Kawasaki Frontale v Urawa Red Diamonds Tips

Kawasaki recently even defeated Al-Nassr in the semis of the AFC Champions League, a game held in Saudi Arabia, and lost the final of the competition to Al Ahli SC, another club from Saudi Arabia. Last season, they defeated Urawa in the league at home.

The head-to-head stats show that Kawasaki Frontale has drawn 67 percent of their last 6 encounters against Urawa Red Diamonds. In terms of goal stats, under 2.5 goals were scored in 67 percent of Kawasaki Frontale's recent 6 home matches and in 4 of Urawa Red Diamonds' last 6 games.

Five straight away games with under 2.5 goals for Urawa Red Diamonds, and I am tipping this meeting with Kawasaki might only have a couple of goals. 1-1 in two of the last three head-to-head, and my tip is Under 2.5 goals.

Kawasaki, since ending their Champions League campaign, played 3 league games, winning 2-0 and 2-1 in two home games in a row but also losing 2-1 at Kashima Antlers. While Urawa is quite an attacking-minded team on the road, I take over 2.5 goals.

Urawa has many 1-1 draws lately on the road. Just once in their previous 5 away games did they fail to score. Last season, they scored here but conceded no less than 3 goals. For Kawasaki, this is their 3rd game in a row in the league, having won the previous two.

Despite the fact that Kawasaki Frontale and Urawa Red Diamonds have played their last five head-to-head meetings on a “both teams to score/yes” basis, ahead of today's match between the two, bookmakers are cautious about the likelihood of such an outcome. This may indicate that experts do not expect both teams to score goals.

Yet another game at home for Kawasaki, who are likely to win once more after already defeating Yokohama FC 2-1 and also Cerezo Osaka 2-0. Last season, when last hosting Urawa in the league, they won 3-1 as I back this bet.
