Kashiwa Reysol host Nagoya Grampus in the J1 League. Kashiwa have been picking up strong results in the league lately, while Nagoya have been struggling for both wins and points.

Recent meetings have gone Kashiwa's way at home

Before that, Nagoya had the better of a couple of head-to-heads, so there's no long unbeaten run either way heading into this one.
Kashiwa well clear of Nagoya in the table
Kashiwa currently sit second in the J1 League with 18 points from eight games, six wins and just two defeats. Nagoya are down in 17th over the same number of matches, with only six points from two wins and six losses.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vissel Kobe | 8 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 12/5 | 19 |
| 2 | Kashiwa Reysol | 8 | 6 | 0 | 2 | 17/12 | 18 |
| 3 | Sanfrecce Hiroshima | 8 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 20/6 | 17 |

| 17 | Nagoya Grampus | 8 | 2 | 0 | 6 | 7/14 | 6 |
| 18 | Avispa Fukuoka | 8 | 1 | 1 | 6 | 9/12 | 4 |
That's a sizeable gap for this stage of the season, and it's the clearest form signal we have heading into this one.
On the league table alone, Kashiwa look the much stronger side right now.

Segawa carrying Kashiwa's attack
Y. Segawa has been Kashiwa's main source of goals recently, netting six in eight appearances, with Y. Koizumi adding three more from the same number of games. Masa has been busy creating chances too, picking up five assists in just five outings.
We don't have the same breakdown for Nagoya's attacking players, so it's hard to compare goal threats directly, but Kashiwa clearly have a couple of players in good scoring form.

Kashiwa's table position and their recent home head-to-head record both point one way, but the wider form numbers complicate that a little. Nagoya have shown they can win and draw games too, even if their J1 form this stretch has been poor.
With no market price to test any of that against, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force a pick.
