What we said beforehand
Kashiwa Reysol host Urawa Reds at home in a J1 League clash on 31 October. Reysol sit fourth in the table with 25 points from 12 games, just one point behind Sanfrecce Hiroshima and two ahead of Vissel Kobe. The Reds are seventh, on 21 points, a single point behind Kawasaki Frontale and one ahead of Kashima Antlers. Both sides are close to the top half of the table and a win will tighten the race for the European spots. The numbers we have suggest Reysol are the stronger side, but both clubs have shown they can score, so an open game is likely.
Reysol’s recent form has been solid. In their last eight matches they have won five, drawn two and lost one. The most recent results are a 0-0 draw away at Ratchaburi FC, a 3-2 away win over Kashima Antlers, another 0-0 draw away at FC Tokyo, a 3-1 home loss to Nagoya Grampus, a 5-1 home win over Port FC and a 4-2 home win over Vissel Kobe. In those eight games they have scored 21 goals and let in 10, keeping three clean sheets while failing to find the net twice. Three of the last four home games have been wins, giving them confidence heading into this fixture after only four days of rest.
Urawa Reds come in on a four-match winning streak. Their last eight outings include a 1-0 home win over V-Varen Nagasaki, a 3-2 home victory against Chiba, a 1-0 away win at Mito, a 4-0 away demolition of Yokohama FC, a 3-0 away loss to FC Tokyo and a 3-2 home win over RB Omiya Ardija. Across those games they have scored 18 and conceded 10, with three clean sheets and one game where they did not score. Their recent road form is strong – three wins and one loss in the last four away matches – and they are playing six days after their previous game.
The two clubs have met five times before, with Reysol winning three and Urawa taking two. Those encounters have produced an average of 2.4 goals per game, indicating a willingness to attack. The most recent meeting was a 4-2 victory for Reysol on 22 August 2025, a match that saw both sides find the net multiple times. Given the goal averages and the fact that both teams have been scoring regularly in recent weeks, we expect another game with chances at both ends rather than a defensive stalemate.
Our pick is both teams to score. Reysol average 2.1 goals per game and the Reds 1.3, and the chance of each side scoring is 83 % and 68 % respectively. The price of 1.53 is shorter than our own reading, which gives a 56 % chance of both sides finding the net. For the pick to fail, one side would need to keep a clean sheet – something that has happened only three times in each team’s last eight games. With both teams capable of scoring and recent meetings showing plenty of goals, we feel the price is attractive and the bet has a good chance of succeeding.
