ℹ️ Team News: Urawa Red Diamonds

Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Urawa Red Diamonds gaffer Maciej Skorża to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Kai Shibato (Knee surgery) is out of contention.

We think that Reds may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Shusaku Nishikawa, Hirokazu Ishihara, Danilo Boza, Marius Hoeibraaten, Takuya Ogiwara, Samuel Gustafson, Kaito Yasui, Takuro Kaneko, Ryoma Watanabe, Matheus Savio and Yusuke Matsuo.

📋 Team News: Yokohama FC

Yokohama FC boss Shuhei Yomoda has not got a full squad to pick from. João Paulo (Tibia and fibula fracture), Towa Yamane (unknown injury), Kaito Mori (Broken collarbone) and Tsubasa Shibuya (Acromioclavicular joint dislocation) won’t be making appearances.

There’s a good chance that Yokohama FC seem most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, giving starts to Akinori Ichikawa, Makito Ito, Boniface Nduka, Kosuke Yamazaki, Toma Murata, Yuri, Kota Yamada, Kaili Shimbo, Musashi Suzuki, Yoshiaki Komai and Lukian.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Yokohama FC are likely to break down this Urawa Red Diamonds side, but it probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Urawa Red Diamonds by the conclusion of the game. It really should be an interesting one.
