Nagoya Grampus will welcome Oita Trinita to the Toyota Stadium for a matchday 30 fixture in the J1 League on Sunday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-1 away draw with FC Tokyo on Wednesday. Adailton and Jakub Swierczok scored first-half goals to ensure the points were shared at full-time.
Oita Trinita also had to share the poils in a goalless draw away to Sagan Tosu last weekend.
The draw saw Grampus drop to fourth spot with 54 points picked up from 30 matches. Oita Trinita sit in 19th place and are six points away from safety.
