Urawa Red Diamonds, Recent FormLast time out, Urawa Red Diamonds went away feeling content with a 4-2 away win against Albirex Niigata Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Albirex Niigata, who had 19 shots on goal with 9 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 13 games overall.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Saitama Stadium 2002, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Thiago Santana will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Urawa Red Diamonds.
Kyoto Sanga, Recent FormKyoto Sanga won't feel too deflated by the 3-2 home defeat to Avispa Fukuoka, given that their opponents sit a full 11 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Avispa Fukuoka who had 11 attempts and 6 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change.
On an individual basis, Taichi Hara will be looking to cause Urawa Red Diamonds some problems having scored 2 goals in Kyoto Sanga's last 6 away games in the league.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In their last 2 league meetings with Urawa Reds, Kyoto Sanga have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Saitama Stadium 2002 in the league, but Urawa Reds will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Urawa Reds manager Per-Mathias Høgmo will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Kyoto Sanga manager Kwi-jae Cho has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
