The hosts managed to beat Sagan Tosu (2:1), Iwata (4:3) and Shonan (3:2) in the domestic championship.

Nagoya Grampus
JapanCurrent form
Nagoya is not performing well in the J-League, but the team still managed to win one trophy this season.

The hosts managed to find their game towards the end of the season and reached the top half of the table. Surely, in the last home match of the championship, the players will try to please their fans.

Bet on corners
We assume that the hosts will have the initiative on the field from the first to the last minute. In such a game scenario, the advantage of the favorite in the number of corners is almost inevitable.
