Tuesday 002 Kawasaki Forward VS Urawa Red Diamonds Event Analysis

Team status:

Kawasaki Forward (6th place in the league, 24 points)

Significant home advantage: 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 6 home games remain unbeaten, with a home winning rate of about 50%, and has scored at least 2 goals in 4 home games in the past 5 games, with stable offensive firepower.

Recent performance: defeated Osaka Sakura 2-0 in the last round of the league, ending the previous two consecutive losses, and its form rebounded. However, poor performance in the AFC Champions League may affect physical reserves.

Injury impact: defender Shintaro, Resher and forward Yu Kobayashi are absent due to injuries, and there are hidden dangers on the defensive end.

Tactical style: Focusing on 4-2-3-1 formation, with a high ball possession rate (2,294 passes per game), relying on the creativity of midfielder Yuki Yamamoto and forward Ellison, but the defense line is easily broken by counterattack.

Urawa Red Diamonds (4th place in the league, 29 points)

away performance is weak: only 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 away games, with a winning rate of 17%, and unstable away defense (average goals conceded 0.86 per game), but their away condition has recovered recently (2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 games).

Offensive and Defensive Characteristics: Outstanding performance on the defensive end, conceded only 8 goals in the last 10 league games, but the offensive efficiency is average, and failed to score in 3 of the past 4 league games.

Core players: Midfielder Tays Matsumoto and forward Ryuma Watanabe have been in excellent form recently and contributed key goals.

Tactical style: adopts a 3-4-2-1 formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks. The running ability of midfielders Takahiro Sarenone and Savio is the key, but the defensive discipline is poor (3 yellow cards per game).

Offensive and defensive comparison:

Kawasaki averaged 1.8 goals at home, and Urawa averaged 0.86 goals away, but Kawasaki has obvious defensive loopholes recently (conceded 9 goals in the last 5 games).

Uurawa's recent away game averages are only 0.71, and its offensive efficiency is relatively low.

Mainstream prediction

Kawasaki forward is more likely to win 1-0 or 2-1, but beware of Urawa's defensive counterattack. If the deadlock is not broken in the first half, the possibility of a draw will increase significantly.
