Like their opponents on Saturday, Avispa Fukuoka are coming off of a loss last time out. Fukuoka fell 1-0 to Nagoya Grampus away from home.
The home team won the last two meetings between these J-League rivals. However, Urawa Red Diamonds hold the better head-to-head record against Avispa Fukuoka with 5W-0D-1L in the last six meetings in all competitions.
The Red Diamonds outscored Avispa 11-4 in their last six games. Ten yellow cards and three red cards were handed out during that same six-game timeframe.
Urawa took five points from their last six matches. All five points came from five consecutive draws in the J-League. Goals were in short supply for the Red Diamonds as they scored just four times and conceded six goals.
Avispa Fukuoka are in good form compared to their opponents on Saturday. Fukuoka picked up 10 points from their last 18 points available. Defensively Fukuoka were excellent across the last six matches conceding a mere four times. They bagged seven goals in those six games.
The last four Avispa Fukuoka matches played at home ended without defeat. However, Fukuoka have just a 2W-5D1L record at home this term.
Urawa Red Diamonds are the joint worst away team in the division heading into round 16. The Red Diamonds have taken three points on the road this season in seven tries. They have a record of 0W-3D-4L with two goals for and seven against.
Danish forward Kasper Junker leads Urawa Red Diamonds in goals this season with four in 10 appearances. Meanwhile, Avispa Fukuoka are led in goals by forward Yuya Yamagishi with three. Juama leads Fukuoka in assists with three. Both sides are not high-scoring teams.
Fukuoka have just 11 team goals in 15 matches. Urawa Red Diamonds have tallied 15 goals in 15 matches.
Saturday’s game should be a close affair between these two sides. Urawa have not won on the road this season. Can the Red Diamonds end their poor away form at Fukuoka?
