In my opinion Kashiwa have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.
Kashiwa currently have really solid streak at home against Urawa as they didn't lost in 5 of last 6 home matches against them.
I don't see big difference between both teams in terms of quality and potential. Kashiwa finished previous season on higher place in league table than Urawa.
Urawa started this season with new coach Maciej Skorza from Poland. After 5 matches they are on 6th position, but their results looks better than they really should. They at not so good at the back - only one clean sheet and 6 goals conceded in 6 matches. Urawa also is not great team with the ball - only 4 teams in whole league had lower average ball possession. In addition to that they have huge problems with creativity - only 2 big chances created so far and it's the worst result in whole league. Urawa not coming here full of confidence - 5 days ago they failed to win at home in League Cup against Shimizu from second level.
Kashiwa 5 days ago recorded draw in League Cup on away against strong home team Fukuoka (3 wins in 3 home league matches). Finally things clicked in offensive formation - winger Grot scored two goals and he will be hard to stop today. Best scorer from previous season Mao Hosaya arrived from Japanese u22 team and is ready to play. Kashiwa is more creative team and better with the ball than Urawa so they should be able to control this game.
For me is very hard to trust for Urawa on the road. In current season they lost 2 of 3 away matches. In previous season they failed to win in 14 of 17 away league matches.
I believe Kashiwa is very underrated and have all required tools to avoid loss in this game.

在我看来,柏和在今天的比赛中有很好的机会至少得一分。
柏和目前在主场对阵浦和的比赛中表现非常稳定,因为他们在最近6场主场对阵浦和的比赛中有5场没有输球。
我看不出这两支球队在实力和潜力上有太大的区别。柏和上个赛季在积分榜上的排名高于浦和。
浦和本赛季开始与来自波兰的新教练Maciej Skorza合作。5场比赛后,他们排在第6位,但他们的成绩看起来比实际情况要好。他们在后防线上表现不佳——6场比赛只有1场零封对手,丢6球。浦和在控球方面也不怎么样——全联盟只有4支球队的平均控球率比浦和低。除此之外,他们在创造力方面也存在巨大的问题——到目前为止他们只创造了2次机会,这是整个联赛中最糟糕的结果。浦和并没有充满信心地来到这里——5天前,他们在联赛杯主场对阵清水的比赛中未能从二级联赛中获胜。
柏和5天前在联赛杯客场战平强队福冈(联赛3场主场3胜)。最后,进攻阵型出现了转机——边锋格罗特进了两个球,他今天将很难被阻挡。上个赛季的最佳射手小矢茂从日本u22队转会过来,他已经准备好上场了。柏和是一支更有创造力的球队,球技也比浦和更好,所以他们应该能够控制这场比赛。
对我来说,很难相信浦和在路上。本赛季他们在3场客场比赛中输掉了2场。在上个赛季,他们在17场客场比赛中有14场未能获胜。
我相信Kashiwa被低估了,并且拥有在这场比赛中避免损失的所有必要工具。
