Nagoya Grampus and Kashima Antlers have widely contrasting ambitions for their remaining J1 League matches. The two sides square off in the 32nd round with 15th placed Nagoya hosting leaders Kashima. We have a prediction for the match below.
Sitting eight points above the relegation region, Nagoya will be looking to open up a wider gap. The last few matches haven't offer much of that, with the team managing three wins in the last 10 league outings.
The latest of those was a 0-0 draw with Albirex Niigata. Across all competitions, Nagoya have one win in their last five home matches. In the reverse meeting between these sides, Nagoya suffered a 3-0 defeat.
Kashima Antlers are charging for their first league title since 2016. With seven matches remaining, they’ve opened up a four-point gap at the league summit.
The Perennial Winners are coming off a run of three straight wins, and they haven't tasted defeat in their last eight league matches. A 3-1 win against Cerezo Osaka was their 19th of the campaign and the target in the next match will be to open up a seven-point gap.
With six defeats on the road, Kashima aren’t the strongest bet when playing away from home. However, they beat Nagoya the last time away from home.

Our Nagoya Grampus vs Kashima Antlers Prediction
Kashima Antlers have placed themselves well in the league title race. Ahead of 32nd round of matches, their advantage is not just captured in facing a struggling side, they are also playing at home, and against a side they beat comfortably last time out.
On the other hand, Nagoya are desperate to widen the gap in the lower end of the league standings. They aren’t on a very good run and this could be one of those matches they fail to get much from. Our prediction for Nagoya Grampus v Kashima Antlers is that Kashima Antlers wins the match.
