Nagoya Grampus will host Italian giants AS Roma at the Toyota Stadium on Friday (November 25) in a friendly.
The hosts endured an average campaign this year after two solid campaigns under former manager Massimo Ficcadenti. They won at Cerezo Osaka in their final game of the recently concluded season, with Yuki Soma scoring the winner at the death. Nagoya have wrapped up their league campaign and will now look to test their mettle against European opposition this weekend.
Roma, meanwhile, have had mixed results in their league this season but have struggled just before the international break. They played out a 1-1 draw against Torino in their last game. Nemanja Matic scored a stunning equaliser deep into additional time after Andrea Belotti had squandered a spot-kick minutes earlier.
After the weekend clash, I Giallorossi will face Yokohama F Marinos in another friendly.

Roma, meanwhile, are winless in their last three games. They are, however, unbeaten in their last seven away games and should win comfortably.
