Tokyo host Nagoya Grampus at the Ajinomoto Stadium on Saturday (June 24) in the J1 League.
The hosts have struggled in the league recently, finding themselves in the bottom-half of the standings. Tokyo were beaten 3-1 by Gamba Osaka in their last league outing. They were already three goals down before Koki Tsukagawa came off the bench to head home a late consolation.
Nagoya, meanwhile, have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and will fancy their chances as early title contenders. They beat struggling Avispa Fukuoka 2-1 last time out in the league, Mateus and Kasper Junker got on the scoresheet to seal a deserved win for Kenta Hasegawa's men.
Trending
