Yokohama vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction and Betting Tips | August 9th 2025

Yokohama FC and Urawa Red Diamonds will battle for three points in a J1 League matchday 25 clash on Saturday (August 9th). The game will be played at MNHK Spring Mitsuzawa Stadium.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad in a friendly a fortnight ago. They were two goals down at the break, with Orri Oskarsson scoring a first-half brace. Kosuke Yamazaki scored a late consolation strike. Yokohama will shift their attention back to league action, where their last game saw them fall to a 2-0 defeat away to Shimizu S-Pulse.

Urawa Reds, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 away win over Montedio Yamagata in the Japanese Emperor's Cup. They went into the break behind to Shintaro Kokubu's 10th-minute strike. Takuro Kaneko equalized just past the hour mark while Hiro Komori stepped off the bench to score the match-winner.

The Saitama outfit's last league game saw them held to a goalless draw at home to Avispa Fukuoka.

The stalemate left them in eighth spot in the standings, having garnered 38 points from 24 games. Yokohama are 19th on 19 points.

Yokohama vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction

Yokohama FC are deep in relegation troubles. They are five points away from safety and their poor form over the last few months does not suggest that they can turn their season around.

Urawa Red Diamonds have not had the best of seasons either, with their wait for a league title set to enter a third decade.

We expect the visitors to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Yokohama 1-2 Urawa Red Diamonds
