**Urawa brings the heat to Saitama**, riding a **4W streak** and looking to keep the momentum rolling against a tricky Okayama side that's also been sharp lately. 🔥

Both clubs are punching above their weight — Urawa's won four of five, Okayama's grabbed three wins in their last five. But this is **Urawa's home fortress**, and the Red Diamonds have history on their side in the head-to-head (2 wins in the last four meetings).

Key storylines:

- **Urawa's attacking form** has been relentless with **M. Sávio** and **H. Komori** combining for clinical finishes; Okayama will need tightness at the back
- **K. Nemoto** and **D. Boza** anchoring the Urawa backline against Okayama's creative trio of **A. Esaka**, **Lucao**, and **E. Miyamoto**
- Missing **M. Yamane** (hip injury) is a blow for Urawa's defense, forcing adjustments on the right flank

Expected lineups:

- **Urawa Red Diamonds**: S. Nishikawa, Y. Naganuma, Y. Miyamoto, D. Boza, K. Nemoto, R. Watanabe, K. Yasui, T. Seko, M. Sávio, H. Komori, T. Kaneko
- **Fagiano Okayama**: L. Moser, Y. Suzuki, H. Omori, Y. Tatsuta, K. Shirai, H. Motoyama, O. Alionço, E. Miyamoto, A. Esaka, Lucao, S. Na

Prediction:

**Urawa 2–1 Okayama**. Urawa's home advantage and explosive form edge them, though Okayama will trouble them on the counter.
