Cup and European games. A domestic cup: sides rotate, and the two can come from different divisions. Urawa Red Diamonds in their last cup games: won 2-1 at Nagoya Grampus, won 4-0 at Yokohama FC (a division below), won 3-2 v RB Omiya Ardija (a division below). Too few cup games to judge the side from.

So. A close match: the safest pick that fits.
