OKAYAMA, Japan (Interstat) — Fagiano Okayama hosts the Urawa Reds in a J1 League fixture on Sunday, with the visitors looking to rebound from a heavy defeat in their last outing.

The match at City Light Stadium pits a mid-table Okayama side against a struggling Urawa squad that has found goals hard to come by. The Reds are entering the contest on the heels of a 3-0 road loss to S’frecce Hiroshima on Nov. 8. That result extended a concerning trend for Urawa, which has been shut out in five of its last eight league matches.

Urawa’s season has been marked by inconsistency. A 2-0 win over Cerezo Osaka on Nov. 2 showcased their potential, but it was immediately followed by the defeat to Hiroshima and preceded by a 4-0 loss to Yokohama F. Marinos.

Fagiano Okayama, meanwhile, is coming off a 1-1 draw with Kawasaki Frontale. Their form has been mixed, with just one win in their last five matches.

The head-to-head history favors the Reds, who earned a 1-0 victory when the teams last met on March 8. According to Interstat’s game simulator, this contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, a result that would extend Urawa’s pattern of low-scoring games.

Following this match, Urawa will host Kawasaki Frontale on Dec. 6, while Okayama will travel to face Shimizu S-Pulse the same day.
