Important battle in the bottom part of the J-League, with both Consadole Sapporo and Nagoya Grampus enduring more anxiety than pleasure. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the hosting team at 14th and the away team in 13th position.
- Consadole Sapporo have the most conceded goals (37) in J-League
- Nagoya Grampus have the fewest scored goals (16) in J-League
These teams have little in common geographically as Nagoya Grampus have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
