Nagoya Grampus will host Kashiwa Reysol at the Toyota Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have endured a poor run of results in the league of late and have rapidly dropped in the league table, finding themselves in 12th place with 27 points from 22 games.
They were beaten 1-0 by league leaders Machida Zelvia in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the game.
Kashiwa Reysol have not fared much better than their weekend opponents in the league this season, although they seem to have found good form in recent weeks. They picked up a 3-2 win over FC Tokyo in their last league outing before beating Tsukuba University 2-1 in the Emperor's Cup on Wednesday.
The visitors sit a place and two points above their weekend opponents in the league table and will be looking to widen that gap with maximum points on Sunday.

Nagoya Grampus vs Kashiwa Reysol Prediction
Nagoya are on a four-game losing streak and have now lost five of their last six games across all competitions. They have won just one of their last five home games and could struggle here.
Kashiwa Reysol, meanwhile, have won their last three games on the bounce after winning just one of their previous nine. They are in much better form than their weekend opponents and should come out on top here.
