REF’s picks

Kawasaki Frontale should control this fixture at home against a struggling Nagoya Grampus side that has dropped four of their last five matches. The hosts possess the attacking depth to break down a leaky defensive unit, making the short handicap a logical choice.

1. 1Kawasaki hold a strong historical edge and superior recent form compared to their opponents.
2. 2Nagoya's porous backline has conceded 10 goals across their previous five outings.
3. 3Frontale can occasionally suffer from defensive lapses, evidenced by their recent 3-3 draw with Kashima Antlers.
