Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Nagoya Grampus & Fagiano Okayama face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emperor Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the J2-League. That game was also an away game, at Zweigen Kanazawa. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
