The J1 League match between Urawa Red Diamonds and Kawasaki Frontale will take place at Saitama Stadium on Saturday at 4:00 pm IST.
Urawa Red Diamonds aim to continue their undefeated streak in the J1 League as they host Kawasaki Frontale at Saitama Stadium 2002 on Saturday. In their previous league game, the hosts secured a 0-0 draw against Yokohama FC, allowing them to climb to fourth place. On the same day, their upcoming opponents, Kawasaki Frontale, managed a 1-0 victory over Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Urawa Red Diamonds secured a 1-1 draw against Shimizu S-Pulse in the Emperor Cup, narrowly claiming the top spot in a tightly contested group where three teams finished with eight points. Their unbeaten run extends to nine matches across all competitions, with three wins and three draws in the league. Led by coach Maciej Skorza, Urawa Red Diamonds have built a solid defensive foundation, conceding only 12 goals in 16 league matches, the best defensive record this season. However, their goal-scoring struggles are evident, as they have scored the same number of goals (20) as their upcoming opponents, placing them ninth in the league standings.
Kawasaki Frontale, previously known for their AFC Champions League qualifications, currently find themselves in mid-table with 24 points, trailing Nagoya Grampus by 11 points. They recently staged an impressive comeback in the J-League Cup, overcoming a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against Shonan Bellmare. This victory marked their fourth consecutive win, bringing renewed momentum with nine goals scored and five conceded during this period. However, their away form has been a struggle, suffering two 2-1 defeats in away league matches and securing only four wins out of eight away games.
Urawa Red Diamonds probable starting lineup: Nishikawa, Ogiwara, Scholz, Holbraten, Akimoto, Ito, Iwao, Okubo, Sekine, Yasui, Koroki
Kawasaki Frontale probable starting lineup: Kamifukumoto, Yamane, Ominami, Kurumaya, Noborizato, Wakizaka, Schmidt, Oshima, Ienaga, Kobayashi, Miyashiro
