Urawa Reds and V-Varen Nagasaki meet in the J1 League, with both sides having just closed out their last match with a win, though in very different fashion: the home side thrashed their opponents 3-2, while the visitors won 4-0. Urawa Reds are on a winning run and in their last five matches have won by at least one goal in four of them, while V-Varen Nagasaki have just picked up their first win in a while, but across their last five they have still lost by two goals twice. Their defence is not steady enough to handle the home side's attack, which has scored 20 goals in 11 matches. Urawa Reds are expected to dominate possession and push high up the pitch, while V-Varen Nagasaki sit back and wait to counter. The game is likely to be decided by the quality of the home side's superior attack, and if the home side score first, they should keep pushing forward to the end and finish with a clear margin.
