FC Tokyo vs Urawa Red Diamonds Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Both sides will want to improve on their performances from last season and have a much better campaign. Here are our FC Tokyo vs Urawa Reds prediction.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

We expect a rather big scoreline here between two teams with a massive rivalry. The majority of the games between the two teams end with attractive scorelines and we often see goals from both sides. Even if we do not see an over, there will definitely be goals from both sides. Urawa Reds were one of the teams with the most BTTS games in the previous season.

Match Result Prediction: FC Tokyo

We think that there is a good chance for a home win here as it is the opening round and no team wants to lose in front of its own crowd. Urawa Reds had some real difficulties on the road last season and we think that FC Tokyo will find a way to win with a minimal difference like 2:1.

Correct Score Prediction: 2:1 to FC Tokyo

As mentioned above, we definitely expect a minimal difference between the two teams. They are relatively equal in strength or at least they were last season, so we do not think that either side will be that much stronger after one transfer window. Since we expect goals from both sides, we envision a 2:1 win.

FC Tokyo vs Urawa Red Diamonds: Form, Recent Games, and News

FC Tokyo Preview

FC Tokyo were one of the top teams in the previous campaign which was a surprise. The team finished in 6th place out of 18 and even had chances to finish among the three best. The question is whether they will be as good this year or return to their mediocre performances that we remember. They were in bad shape in the end of the previous campaign.

Urawa Reds Preview

Urawa Reds are typically among the better teams in the league although they are rarely huge contenders for anything. They won the cup a year ago and that's about it. In the previous campaign, they finished in 9th place and had one of the best attacks in the entire league, as well as the 3rd best defense.
