Urawa Reds vs. Newcastle live stream will see the Magpies get ready for preseason as they kick off their summer tour of Japan with a match against Urawa Red Diamonds, potentially from anywhere with a VPN, and for free.

It has been a turbulent summer at Newcastle, with many backroom and boardroom changes, along with frustration at what many fans see as a lack of transfer business. The constant reports linking manager Eddie Howe with a vacancy in the England squad have not helped the unsettled atmosphere on Tyneside. At least on the pitch, things seem to be going fairly smoothly. A 2-0 win over Championship side Hull City in the opening preseason game of the weekend set the pace for Newcastle to match, even in the intense Saitama humidity.

Newcastle's first opponent on their Japan tour will be the Urawa Red Diamonds (aka Urawa Reds) of the J1 League. The Reds finished 10th last season with 9 wins and 9 losses. On paper, the Japanese team should not pose much of a threat to a Premier League team looking to return to the Champions League, but in preseason, results do not matter; earning playing time does.

Unfortunately for the Toon Army, there are no new players of note, but fan favorite midfielder Bruno Guimarães could make his first preseason appearance.
