Nagoya Grampus will host the Urawa Red Diamonds at the Toyota Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024 J1 League campaign. The home side have struggled for results of late and have now fallen behind in the race for continental football, currently sitting at ninth in the table with 27 points.
They were beaten 1-0 by Tokyo Verdy in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game, but were guilty of being wasteful in front of goal, particularly in an overall impressive second-half display.
The Urawa Red Diamonds have not fared any better than their opponents in the league this season, with poor results in recent weeks. They, however, came from behind to pick up a point in their 2-2 draw against Kashima Antlers last time out, with Hidetoshi Takeda coming off the bench to score a stunning brace and overturn a two-goal deficit late in the game.
Trending
The visitors sit 11th in the league table. They are just one point behind their midweek opponents and will leapfrog them with a win here.

Nagoya Grampus vs Urawa Red Diamonds Prediction
Nagoya are winless in their last three games and have won just one of their last seven. They have struggled to impress on home turf in recent weeks and could struggle here.
Similarly, Urawa Reds are on a six-game winless streak after winning five of their six games prior. They are without a win on the road in their last three outings but should have enough to pick up a point on Wednesday.
