Júbilo Iwata hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 28 points and a 18th position in the J-League table. Visiting Nagoya Grampus holds 12th place with 37 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Júbilo Iwata nor Nagoya Grampus as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Relegation threatens Júbilo Iwata who should definitely be looking for some points here. Nagoya Grampus are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
