Kawasaki Frontale vs Nagoya Grampus Prediction

Kawasaki Frontale have had a poor season that has left them three points clear of the dropzone rather than in the upper echelons of the standings. They are winless in their last three games and will be aiming for a response here.

Nagoya Grampus, for their part, are unbeaten in four, with last week's draw ending their run of three successive wins. Furthermore, they are unbeaten in the last three head-to-head games, winning the last two.

We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Kawasaki Frontale 1-1 Nagoya Grampus
