Shimizu S-Pulse are having yet another difficult season and will face another opponent that is in great form.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

These two teams have a lot of history between them and most of the recent matches had less than 2.5 goals. We expect a similar result from this fixture too, so there is a lot of value in the under market. Urawa Reds are among the teams with the fewest games with over 2.5 and they have had one main problem this season – the team has 11 draws in 21 games – that is more than 50%. They rarely score a lot and they concede even less.

Match Result – Draw

Urawa Reds are a huge favorite before this match and it is rather surprising. The team is in good form in the sense that they do not lose games but as we mentioned above, they mostly have draws and they will be the visitors in this match. The first game between these two teams ended in a 1:1 draw and we actually expect the exact same result for this one. Shimizu have been struggling but they sometimes reach good results.

Alternative Corners – Over 8

Most of the teams in the Japanese elite take a considerable number of corners and Urawa Reds and Shimizu have good stats as well. Well, Urawa are ranked 6th in the league when it comes to corners – an average of 9.2 per game overall as well as 5.3 individually, which actually ranks 2nd in the league. Shimizu take less but we can still expect a few from them as the home team. The first match between them had 11 at full time.
