FC Tokyo vs Urawa Red Diamonds Predictions and Top Betting Tips

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.
