Vissel Kobe host Nagoya Grampus in the J1 League, with the home side sitting in 5th and chasing the top group, while the visitors are 11th and still need points to climb into a safer mid-table position. Vissel Kobe just won 1-0 in the Asian cup and have picked up some league wins, but overall they are not yet steady. Nagoya Grampus, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, but 4 of those were draws; they are a team that does not give in easily, yet they struggle to close games out. This game is likely to see the home side forced to open up and attack, while Nagoya Grampus will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. With that pattern, the hosts may dominate possession, but breaking down the visitors' compact defence is no easy task, and the game is likely to finish closely contested.
