Kyoto Sanga will host Nagoya Grampus at the Sanga Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have had their struggles in the league this season, sitting 17th in the table but have begun picking up points in recent games as they look to avoid the drop.
They beat Jubilo Iwata 2-1 in their last league outing, profiting from an own goal and a Rafael Elias strike in the second half to overturn a one-goal deficit.
Nagoya Grampus have particularly struggled for results in the league in recent weeks and now find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They played out a 3-3 draw against Vissel Kobe last time out and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before Sho Inagaki leveled the scores from the spot at the death.
Trending
The visitors sit 12th in the league standings with 31 points from 24 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and mark their return to competitive action with a win.
