Nagoya Grampus and Kyoto will battle for three points in a J1 League round 25 clash on Sunday (August 10th). The game will be played at the Toyota Stadium.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat they suffered away to Yokohama F Marinos three weeks ago. Kaina Tanimura and Yan scored first-half goals to give Marinos a 2-0 lead at the break. Asahi Uenaka completed the rout deep into injury time.
Kyoto, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Machida Zelvia in the Japanese Emperor's Cup in midweek. Shota Fujio broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Kameoka outfit will turn their focus back to the league, where their last game saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to Avispa Fukuoka.
The stalemate left them in fourth spot in the standings, having garnered 42 points from 24 games. Nagoya Grampus are 15th with 28 points to their name.
