Nagoya vs G-OsakaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Nagoya Grampus are still without a point: two defeats, one goal scored and three conceded, 18th place. The reverse at their own ground came 0-1, the one away 1-2. Gamba Osaka travel with 4 points in fifth, still unbeaten, after a 4-3 home win and a 1-1 draw elsewhere, five goals made and four allowed. That is the stronger attacking return of the two sides due at the Toyota Stadium, and it comes with a defence that has conceded in every outing so far. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
