A highly entertaining match can be expected to kick off the J1 League weekend when the Kashiwa Reysol host an in-form Urawa Red Diamonds side at the Kashiwa Hitachi Stadium on Friday afternoon, in which both teams will be desperate for all three points.

These two have quite a long history of facing one another, having played each other on 43 occasions! In those meetings, Urawa Red Diamonds have won 20 games, and Kashiwa Reysol have been able to pick up 15 wins as well. In their last five meetings, Urawa Red Diamonds have won three games and Kashiwa Royals have won twice. Their most recent match took place earlier in March 2025, when Kashiwa Reysol were able to get a 2-0 win in Urawa's home stadium! Considering how the last five meetings between the two sides have fetched nine goals, this upcoming clash should be a pretty competitive affair.

Kashiwa Reysol are still firmly in the J1 League title race as they are only two points behind the league leaders (Machida Zelvia), having played a game fewer than them. Kashiwa are in fifth place with 47 points from 26 games so far, and head into this match with three wins in their last five matches, having scored eight goals and conceded six goals in that period as well.

Urawa Red Diamonds have been able to significantly pick up their form after appearing at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stages despite giving an encouraging showing for themselves. Urawa have won four of their last five matches, having scored 10 goals in the period, and are in seventh place in the J1 league table with 44 points from 26 games, only five points away from the top place in the table.

Ricardo Rodriguez is still missing some important squad players from his Kashiwa Reysol squad heading into this pivotal match. That is because his midfielders Kohei Tezuka (knee) and Koki Kumasaka (knee) have both been out of action for quite a long time with their injuries and are unavailable for this game. Considering how Kashiwa Reysol can jump up to the top spot in the table, winning this upcoming league game is extremely pivotal for Kashiwa as it can establish them as title favorites.

Matciej Skorza is fortunate enough to have the majority of his squad available for this upcoming game. He is still without his midfielder Kai Shibato, who is still recovering from a knee injury. Skorza will be determined to guide his side to a clinical win, knowing that getting three points can position his side right back into the title favorites and strengthen their chances of claiming the championship.
