Urawa Reds will host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Saitama Stadium on Wednesday in a friendly clash between the two sides as they take a break from club football ahead of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The home team had mixed results in their recently-concluded campaign, finishing mid-table in ninth place with 45 points from 34 games. They played out a 1-1 draw against Avispa Fukuoka in their final league game of the season and will be gutted not to have closed out the campaign with a win as they created enough chances to come out on top.
Urawa Reds have wrapped up their league campaign and will aim to test their mettle against European opposition.
