Urawa Reds and JEF United meet in the J1 League, with the hosts having just won their latest match while the visitors just finished with a goalless draw. The two teams therefore come into this in clearly different shape. Urawa Reds have won two league matches in a row, but their defence still shows problems at home, conceding on average more than two goals per game across four matches at this ground. JEF United, meanwhile, are without a win in five straight matches and have not won away at all this season, scoring on average less than one goal per game. The game is likely to see the hosts forced to be the side pushing forward, because JEF United are expected to sit deep and mainly wait for counter-attacking chances, which makes it likely the match will be played at a tempo where goals are not expected to flow easily.
