Urawa Reds host Cerezo Osaka in the Nabisco Cup on 11 November. League positions were not available in the sources we could read, so recent results have to carry this one. Urawa drew 2-2 at Vissel Kobe on 8 November, a week after a 0-4 defeat at Kashiwa Reysol. Before that they had won three in a row, including 3-2 against JEF United. Cerezo Osaka won 3-2 at Gamba Osaka last weekend, but they lost 1-4 at Kashima Antlers a week earlier and have also conceded four to Kawasaki Frontale in their last five. Cerezo have the better record in this fixture. Of the last five meetings they won three and drew two, the latest a 0-0 draw at Urawa in May 2025. Their last win came 1-0 in Urawa in October 2024. Both sides have shipped goals lately, so a quiet night looks unlikely. Our prediction: 2-2
