Urawa Reds vs Wuhan Three Towns Prediction and Betting Tips | November 29th 2023

Urawa Reds will entertain Wuhan Three Towns at the Saitama Stadium in the AFC Champions League group stage on Wednesday.

Both teams have four points from as many games in the competition thus far, with just one win apiece in these games. The hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats in the competition and fell to a 2-1 away loss at Pohang Steelers last time around.

José Kanté broke the deadlock in the 36th minute but the Steelers registered a comeback win, with Kim In-sung scoring the match-winner in the fourth minute of injury time. Takahiro Akimoto was red-carded in that match and will serve a one-game suspension.

In their first game back since the international break, they suffered a 3-2 home loss to Avispa Fukuoka in the J League on Friday.

The visitors also suffered a 2-1 defeat in their previous outing. They gave away a one-goal lead in the second half and had a player sent off. They will play for the first time since the international break.

Urawa Reds vs Wuhan Three Towns Prediction

The Reds have seen a drop in form recently, suffering five defeats in their last six games across all competitions. They have conceded 11 goals in these games while scoring just five times.

At home, they have lost just one of their last eight home games in the AFC Champions League, keeping seven clean sheets. Takahiro Akimoto will be suspended for the match, so Takahiro Sekine should start here.

The visitors have struggled in their debut campaign in the Champions League, recording just one win in four games. They have lost their two away games in the competition and will look to earn their first point of the season.

They will be without the services of Wei Shihao through suspension and will need to make some changes to the starting XI. As they will play for the first time after the international break, they should have a well-rested squad available for selection.

Considering the current form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw seems to be on the cards.
