Nagoya Grampus Eight desperately need points on Saturday, May 15 at 12:00 PM in the J1 League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Nagoya Grampus Eight come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Kashiwa Reysol, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Nagoya Grampus Eight head into this on the back of a defeat, while Kashiwa Reysol arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, Nagoya Grampus Eight lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Nagoya Grampus Eight won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nagoya Grampus Eight a slight edge, but Kashiwa Reysol are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
