Vissel Kobe vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction

Vissel Kobe are the form team in the league as we enter the home stretch of the campaign. Takayuki Yoshida's side are just one point behind table-toppers Sanfrecce Hiroshima with seven games left. They will be keen not to drop unnecessary points as they seek to successfully defend their league crown.

Urawa Reds, for their part, have had a poor campaign and do not have much left to play for. However, they hold just a seven-point advantage over the relegation zone and are not entirely safe yet.

We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Vissel Kobe 3-1 Urawa Red Diamonds
