Urawa Red Diamonds vs Consadole Sapporo Prediction and Betting Tips | July 20th 2024 

Urawa Red Diamonds will host Consadole Sapporo at the Saitama Stadium 2002 on Saturday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and have now fallen behind in the race for continental football as they sit ninth in the table with 33 points from 23 matches.

They played out a goalless draw against Kyoto Sanga in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after struggling to fashion any noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet.

Consadole Sapporo, meanwhile, have been particularly poor this season and currently find themselves deep in the drop zone. They played out a 1-1 draw against Vissel Kobe in their last match, with Ryota Aoki scoring the opener before Musashi Suzuki squandered a chance to win the game from the spot in the second half.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in the league table with just 12 points from 23 matches and will be desperate to add to that tally this weekend.
