📰 Team News: Machida Zelvia
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Machida Zelvia manager Go Kuroda to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Ryuho Kikuchi (Cartilage damage) won’t play.
We are thinking that Machida Zelvia should use the 3-4-2-1 formation this time, handing starts to Kosei Tani, Gen Shoji, Daihachi Okamura, Yuta Nakayama, Hotaka Nakamura, Hiroyuki Mae, Ryohei Shirasaki, Kotaro Hayashi, Erik, Yuki Soma and Shota Fujio.
ℹ️ Team News: Nagoya Grampus
Nagoya Grampus boss Mihailo Petrović has to currently contend with reduced team options. Sho Inagaki (Ankle injury), Tomoya Koyamatsu (Meniscus damage) and Marcus Vinicius (Tibia and fibula fracture) can’t be considered.
We reckon that Nagoya Grampus will likely make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation by sending out Daniel Schmidt, Yuki Nogami, Haruya Fujii, Yota Sato, Yuya Asano, Tsukasa Morishima, Tomoki Takamine, Katsuhiro Nakayama, Ryuji Izumi, Yudai Kimura and Yuya Yamagishi.
🧠 Prediction
In our opinion, Nagoya Grampus have the firepower to breach the defence of this Machida Zelvia outfit, but it probably shouldn’t be as many as they’ll concede.
We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Machida Zelvia after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
