Avispa Fukuoka's season has been nothing short of catastrophic, leaving little room for complaints. The home team has won 11 of their last 36 games, and if they were to win their two remaining games, they would still fall short of their 15 wins achieved in the previous campaign. Currently, they occupy 12th place in the standings and are five points adrift of seventh-placed Cerezo Osaka. 

In their previous match, they succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cerezo Osaka away from home. This result halted a five-match unbeaten run in the league (D3, W2). Home form was a bit concerning, with the team losing five consecutive matches before stringing together a two-match winning streak.

Urawa Red Diamonds are also a side that has performed below expectations this season. However, for a team of their standards, it truly comes as a shocking revelation. After 36 games, they sit in 10th place in the standings and are 13 points behind last season's fourth-place finish. 

The Reds were on a four-match losing streak in the league while failing to score in three of those contests. However, a surge of renewed confidence currently sees them riding a four-match unbeaten run (W2, D2). Their most recent match witnessed them squander a one-goal lead to play out a 1-1 draw against Kawasaki Frontale at home.

• Avispa Fukuoka have lost one of their last six matches in the league.
• Urawa Red Diamonds are winless in their last three away matches in the league.
• Avispa Fukuoka averages 0.89 goals per game when playing at home, and Urawa Red Diamonds averages 1.06 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 17 meetings, Avispa Fukuoka have won 3 times, Urawa Red Diamonds have won 10 times, and there have been 4 draws with the goal difference being 26-14 in favor of Urawa Red Diamonds. 

Urawa Red Diamonds are not a team that can be fully trusted. I say this because they've underperformed this season, not to mention they come into this clash with just one win in their last eight away matches (D5, L2).

I don't expect to see fireworks in this upcoming match. However, a draw can't be ruled out with the away team recording five draws from their eight matches on the road. As such, support the total goals to not exceed 2.

• Total - Under 2 for 1.8
• Full-time Result - Draw for 2.95
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.61
