✨ Prediction

We feel that Nagoya Grampus will have to work hard as a team to be putting a goal past this Shonan Bellmare lineup who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore predicting a good tussle with a 1-0 winning margin for Shonan Bellmare when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be interesting.
