Urawa Red Diamonds failed to capitalize on their dominance over Kyoto Sanga last time out to record a goalless draw. However, this extended their unbeaten run against Gwi-jae Jo's men to five matches (D3, W2).

The Reds have now gone two league matches without a win (L1, D1) since their 3-0 home victory over Jubilo Iwata on June 30th. At home, they have failed to live up to expectations in the past few weeks, winning just one of their last five matches (L2, D2). 

With 33 points accumulated from 23 matches, the Urawa Red Diamonds occupy 9th place in the J1 League standings, two points ahead of tenth-placed Tokyo Verdy and four points adrift of fifth-placed Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Consadole Sapporo has not had an eye-catching season this season, as they are on the verge of being relegated to the second tier for the first time since 2012. This will mark the fifth time that they've been relegated from the top flight.

In their previous round against Vissel Kobe, they managed to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw at home despite the odds stacked against them. However, this result extended their winless run in the league to nine matches (L8, D1) while failing to score in six of those matches.

With 12 points accumulated from 23 matches, Consadole Sapporo are anchored at the bottom of the table and are a massive eleven points ahead of safety.

• Urawa Red Diamonds have won two of their last nine matches in the J1 League.
• Consadole Sapporo are currently on an eleven-match winless run when playing away in the J1 League.
• Urawa Red Diamonds averages 1.83 goals per game when playing at home, and Consadole Sapporo averages 0.64 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 19 meetings, Urawa Red Diamonds have won 9 times, Consadole Sapporo have won 5 times, and there have been 5 draws, with the goal difference being 29-24 in favor of Urawa Red Diamonds. 

Urawa Red Diamonds are currently experiencing a challenging season and are expected to finish outside the top four, which comes as no surprise having achieved such a disappointing feat in six of the last seven previous seasons. 

The Reds are currently on a two-match winless run in the league; however, bookmakers have them as overwhelming favorites to secure a comfortable victory and return to the winning column against a side that has lost six consecutive matches when playing away. 

Therefore, support the home side in the full-time market combined with the total of over 1.5 goals, which should suffice.

• W1 & TO 1.5 for 1.78
• Anytime Goalscorer - Thiago Santana for 2.05
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.75
