Avispa Fukuoka vs Urawa Reds

Best Denki Stadium is the venue as Avispa Fukuoka and Urawa Reds meet in an exciting J1 League match-up.

A lack of consistency has seen Avispa Fukuoka alternate between losing (2) and not losing (W1, D1) across their four previous J1 League outings, including a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Nagoya Grampus last time out. At home, though, they’ve alternated between victories (2) and draws (2) across their four J1 League matches since falling to a 1-0 reverse to Kashima Antlers in early April, which remains Fukuoka’s solitary home defeat during this J1 League campaign (W2, D5). On the bright side, after losing three consecutive home meetings with Urawa in Japan’s top flight, Fukuoka came out 2-1 victors in this exact last season.

In the meantime, the visitors fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Cerezo Osaka in midweek J1 League action, ending a run of seven successive league draws. Low scoring has been a common theme in Urawa’s recent fixtures, as seven of their last eight league matches have featured under 2.5 goals, highlighting the potential for a cagey affair. Adding to this sentiment, the ‘Red Devils’ have failed to get on the scoresheet in each of their last three J1 League games on the road. Having netted just two goals across their seven top-flight travels this season, it’s no wonder Urawa are still waiting for their first league win on hostile turf (D3, L4).
