Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Preview & Prediction
The champions of Europe take on the champions of Asia on Tuesday evening as Manchester City go head to head with Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-final of the Club World Cup out in Saudi Arabia.
Urawa booked their spot in the final four with a narrow 1-0 win over CONCACAF Champions Cup winners Club Leon last Friday, a victory in which three of their key players were forced off with injuries.
City on the other hand, receive an automatic spot in the semi-final for winning the UEFA Champions League, but come into the clash off the back of a disappointing run domestically.
The Cityzens side have won just one of their last six outings in the Premier League, most recently throwing away a 2-0 lead over Crystal Palace to draw 2-2 in injury time.
Despite their poor form in England, we at SportsLens anticipate a fairly comfortable evening for Pep Guardiola‘s side in the Middle East and are backing them to overcome their Japanese counterparts to punch their ticket to Friday night’s final.
Prediction: Urawa Red Diamonds 0-3 Manchester City

Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Betting Tips
- Julian Alvarez To Score Anytime @ 4/6
- Oscar Bobb To Score Anytime @ 7/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 15/4
Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Betting Tip 1: Alvarez To Score Anytime @ 4/6
Our first tip for your Tuesday night Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Club World Cup bet builder is to back Cityzens forward Julian Alvarez to score at anytime during the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at 4/6.
Erling Haaland missed a second successive match for the reigning treble winners at the weekend, and although he is part of the travelling squad to Saudi Arabia – it is unlikely that Guardiola will risk his star man.
This opens the door for Alvarez to lead the line for City once again, and having failed to score in any of his last four matches – we’re backing the Argentine to bounce back and open his account for the month against Urawa Reds.
Urawa Red Diamonds vs Manchester City Betting Tip 2: Bobb To Score Anytime @ 7/4
City’s dead rubber Champions League clash against Red Star Belgrade last Wednesday allowed Guardiola to showcase some of the upcoming talents that are ready to break into the senior game from their academy.
20-year-old Micah Hamilton bagged the opener after 19 minutes, before Norwegian starlet Oscar Bobb doubled the champions’ advantage in the 62nd minute – his first senior goal for the club.
This came less than a month after his first senior international goal, where he scored and assisted in what was just his second start for Norway as they faced off against the Faroe Islands in a friendly.
With a clear eye for goal, we’ve identified Bobb as one of the more likely candidates to score on Tuesday if he is handed another start by Guardiola, and at 7/4, we at SportsLens are backing the 20-year-old to net his second goal in Sky Blue colours by scoring at anytime against Urawa Reds.
