Gameday in Saitama for the round 7 between Urawa & Shimizu.

Urawa will be without Inukai & Kihara. Hiroki Sakai is back in the training but it should be too early for him to start for this game. Urawa just added a new player, Alex Schalk from Servette, he arrived in Japan but not expecting able to start already.

On their side Shimizu will be without Renato Augusto & Thiago Santana who are training individually at the moment. Umeda, Matsuoka, Disaro & Nishizawa are also out.

Urawa is ranked 7 with 2 wins, 2 draws & 4 losses for 10 goals scored & 9 goals conceded.

Shimizu is ranked 16 with 1 win, 2 draws & 3 losses for 5 goals scored & 9 goals conceded.

Great chance to win here on Urawa who is the stronger team here and who really needs to start to take confidence this season because they had a lot of ambitions last season to prepare this season and be a top team. They got some problems at the early of the season because of COVID and injuries. Now they are finally able to count on all their imports. Karlsson for their midfield but he is a very offensive player, he scored two goals in two games. Junker in front & Scholz for their defense.

For this game I don't expect especially Junker to start, usually when there is two games in few days he don't start twice in a row, so for this game I expect more Esaka to be there in front.

As I already said few times this season, I expect a good season from Shimizu on the field but not until that Thiago Santa is back, until he is missing they will still be in big trouble and even more against top team.

I rate Urawa stronger on the field, I also rate Ricardo Rodriguez stronger tactically than Hiraoka.

I expect 1-0 or 2-0.

在埼玉举行的第7轮浦和清水的比赛日。

浦和将失去犬海和木原。酒井广树已经回到了训练中，但对他来说，这场比赛要首发还太早了。浦和刚加入了一个新球员，来自Servette的Alex Schalk，他来到日本，但并不期待能够开始。

在他们这边，清水将没有雷纳托·奥古斯托和蒂亚戈·桑塔纳，他们目前正在单独训练。梅田、松冈、Disaro和Nishizawa也退出了。

浦和队以2胜2平4负排名第7，进10球失9球。

清水的战绩为1胜2平3负，进5球9球，排在第16位。

浦和在这里有很好的获胜机会，浦和是这里更强的球队，这个赛季他们真的需要开始有信心，因为他们上个赛季有很多雄心来准备这个赛季，成为一支顶级的球队。由于新冠肺炎和伤病，他们在赛季初遇到了一些问题。现在他们终于可以依靠所有的进口了。卡尔森为他们的中场效力，但他是一个非常有进攻性的球员，他在两场比赛中进了两个球。容克在前面，肖尔茨在防守。

在这场比赛中，我不希望尤其是容克首发，通常在几天内有两场比赛时，他不会连续两次首发，所以在这场比赛中，我希望更多的Esaka会在前面。

正如我这个赛季已经说过几次的，我希望清水能在球场上有一个好的赛季，但直到蒂亚戈·圣诞老人回来，直到他缺席，他们仍然会有大麻烦，甚至更要面对顶级球队。

我认为浦和在球场上更强，我也认为里卡多·罗德里格斯在战术上比平冈更强。

我估计是1-0或2-0。
