On the 19th of February, in this week 1 match, Kyoto Sanga will host Urawa Reds in a meeting of these two mismatched J-League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Kyoto Sanga has not played yet this season, and neither has Urawa Reds.
Kyoto Sanga is starting their season on a positive note having just been promoted, while Urawa Reds is starting their season after ending last season at 6th place.
