Avispa Fukuoka, Recent FormA 0-0 draw in their last match against Sagan Tosu meant Avispa Fukuoka had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Sagan Tosu who had 3 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Best Denki Stadium, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
Yuya Yamagishi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Avispa Fukuoka.
Urawa Red Diamonds, Recent FormUrawa Red Diamonds enter this game with a comfortable 3-1 home win over Gamba Osaka last time out in the league. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Gamba Osaka's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Maciej Skorża will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
There will be mixed feelings from Reds, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
David Moberg Karlsson will be hoping to create problems for Avispa Fukuoka in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Urawa Red Diamonds.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Avispa have managed to keep a clean sheet against Reds in each of their previous 2 meetings at Best Denki Stadium.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Urawa Reds may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 3 league encounters with Avispa.
With no real injury worries, Avispa manager Shigetoshi Hasebe will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Urawa Reds manager Maciej Skorża has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
