Machida vs UrawaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Machida Gion Stadium hosts J1 League's early pacesetters: Machida Zelvia sit top with 6 points from two games, both won away from home by an aggregate 9-1, and have yet to play a single fixture on their own ground this season. Their opponents Urawa are bottom with zero points after two defeats, 4 goals scored and 8 conceded, including a 1-4 home loss and a 3-4 defeat on the road that point to defensive trouble from the opening weeks. The league average sits at 3.35 goals a game, a figure that carries extra weight given how far apart these two clubs are in the table this early. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
