Fifth-placed Sanfrecce Hiroshima host eighth-placed Urawa Red Diamonds in this Japanese J1 League matchday 36 fixture on Sunday. La Viola will aim to close the gap on the top three with a win against the Red Devils. Here is our prediction for the match.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima fell 3-0 to 17th-placed Yokohama F. Marinos in their last league outing. However, they bounced back strongly, winning their next two matches. This includes an impressive 3-0 demolition of Kashiwa Reysol in the J.League Cup final and a 1-0 win over Gangwon in AFC Champions League on Tuesday.
Michael Skibbe's side have won three of their last four home matches (D1) and are unbeaten in their last seven home matches across all competitions. They have also won their last three home matches against Urawa Reds.
Urawa Reds dropped points in their last match to visitors Machida as they were held to a goalless draw. This result marked their sixth game without a win in seven J1 League matches. They have also failed to win their last seven away matches across all competitions. This includes a heavy 4-0 defeat to Yokohama F. Marinos in their most recent fixture on the road.
