It can't be said that Per-Mathias Høgmo was in urgent need of a life raft following his team's disappointing results. Urawa Red Diamonds were on a six-match winless run in the league, recording four draws and two losses before recording a 1-0 victory away to Gamba Osaka. 

The Reds have not set foot at the Saitama Stadium since their 4-1 friendly defeat against England's Newcastle United on July 31st, including a 4-3 league defeat against relegation-threatened Consadole Sapporo at the same venue. They have one win to their name in the last seven home matches (L3, D2).

With 39 points accumulated from 28 matches, Urawa Red Diamonds occupies ninth place in the J1 League standings and is level on points with tenth-placed Albirex Niigata. They are five points adrift of sixth-placed Tokyo Verdy.

After going six league matches without a win, recording four losses and two draws, FC Tokyo finally managed to snap that run with a comfortable 4-1 home win over Nagoya Grampus this past weekend. 

Away from home, Peter Cklamovski's team has been in poor form, failing to secure a win in their last five matches (L4, D1). Recall that this is a team that was once on a two-match winning run against Sagan Tosu and Shonan Bellmare, winning both matches by a 1-0 scoreline. 

With 41 points on board from 30 matches, FC Tokyo occupies 8th place in the J1 League standings and is level on points with seventh-placed Yokohama F. Marinos.

• Urawa Red Diamonds has failed to win their last three games against FC Tokyo.
• FC Tokyo is currently on a two-match losing streak when playing away in the J1 League.
• Urawa Red Diamonds averages 1.92 goals per game when playing at home, and FC Tokyo averages 1.43 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 47 meetings, Urawa Red Diamonds has won 25 times, FC Tokyo has won 8 times, and there have been 14 draws, with the goal difference being 74-45 in favor of Urawa Red Diamonds. 

Urawa Red Diamonds has the opportunity to climb the table to a top-half finish if they secure a win against their opponents in this impending encounter, something they've failed to do in their last three encounters, losing two and drawing one. 

This could turn out to be a tight contest, and considering that the home side can be untrustworthy in such situations, we anticipate supporting the total corners to exceed 9.5.

• Corners - Over 9 for 1.72
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.78
