Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Prediction: The Blues are expected to wrap up the game before halftime

Manchester City will feature in their first-ever Club World Cup Tournament when they face off against Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. After another disappointing display on their ground, the Blues dropped to the fourth spot on the log. At the same time, The Red Devils head here following their slim (0-1) over Leon in their opening game.

Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan)

Despite being the underdog, the Red Devils secured an emphatic victory over Leon FC. They dominated the game but waited till the 74th minute to score against ten men Leon's side.

The Red Devils have had a poor season, finishing in fourth spot with fourteen points behind the champion Vissel Kobe in Japan's Premier League. Following their success in the AFC Champions League last season, Urawa Red Diamonds have failed to make it out of the group stage.

Urawa Red Diamonds defeated Al Hilal (1-0) to win the AFC Champions League, which in turn secured the ticket to this tournament.

Manchester City (England)

The Blues recorded one of their best seasons in history as they won the treble, including the Champions League. However, they have dipped in form this season, winning once in their last six games in the premier league. Pep Guardiola's men will be desperate to add this trophy to their cabinet as they remain the favorites in this competition.

Should the Blues beat Urawa, they will face the winners of the tie between Brazilian side Fluminense and Egyptian team Al Ahly in the final.

Expert Betting Tips

Urawa Diamonds were fantastic against the Americans Leon FC, scoring once from five shots at goal; however, they won’t get such an opportunity against the best team in the world. Manchester City head here with a disappointing result on their ground against Crystal Palace, and it’ll be disastrous to lose against the Japanese side. Manchester City are interested in the trophy, and with their full squad, we expect them to get a win before the break.

We also expect to see more than three goals here for 2.10.

We don’t think Urawa Diamonds will be able to penetrate City’s defense as we expect Manchester City to keep a clean sheet here.

Good luck!
