J-League: Two squads in reasonably good shape get together for this match. Nagoya Grampus hold a small edge with their 4th place in the standings?
- Cerezo Osaka have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Nagoya Grampus have the most clean sheets (20) in J-League
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cerezo are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Grampus are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
