Sagan Tosu vs Nagoya Grampus Prediction

Both teams will looking to finish as high as possible as the J1 League season heads into its final third.

Sagan and Nagoya have endured relatively mixed campaigns so far, but that can change if they string together a few wins. Sagan are unbeaten in their last three domestic games and will look to build on that.

The visitors, meanwhile, will have to put their focus back on their domestic campaign following their exit from the cup competition. They'll have to draw motivation from their last domestic game against Urawa, which they won 3-0 last weekend.

This game is too close to call, so a draw is likely on the cards.

Prediction: Sagan Tosu 2-2 Nagoya Grampus.
