It leaves them unbeaten in three. Their 2027-season record in our dataset (9 scored and 12 conceded in six matches, 1.5 and 2.0 per game) points to a fairly even balance between the two ends of the pitch.

Urawa: they come in on a five-match winning sequence. That is five wins, no draws and no defeats from the last five, worth 15 points. It leaves them unbeaten in five. Their 2027-season record in our dataset (13 scored and 10 conceded in seven matches, 1.86 and 1.43 per game) points to strong attacking output with occasional defensive lapses.
