Urawa Reds vs Nagoya Grampus Prediction & Betting Tips (28 April)

Nagoya Grampus bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 13 victories in their last 18 J1 League matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Urawa Reds are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Both meetings between these two teams in the playoffs last season served up under 2.5 goals, meaning that Urawa Reds have now been involved in seven consecutive matches of this low-scoring variety. As for Nagoya Grampus, seven of their previous ten away games at this level have produced no more than a couple of goals, so don’t expect a feast of attacking football.

Over the course of their last 19 J1 League matches, Nagoya Grampus have kept an impressive tally of 14 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Nagoya Grampus can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures involving Urawa Reds have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
