Kyoto Sanga vs Nagoya Grampus: Prediction for the Match on May 11, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between top side Kyoto Sanga and bottom fraterniser Nagoya Grampus, ahead of the seventeenth round taking place at the Kyocera Sanga Stadium on the 11th May 2025. Kyoto is tied at the hips with Kashiwa Reysol, heavy contenders for the league, who are two games short on the league. Fans of Nagoya Grampus find their league placement unbelievable; the game is the game, and sometimes, there are no second chances.

 A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

🏠 Kyoto Sanga: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WWLLW

The Kyoto Purples remain one of the few that have scored in every game since they began the league. In the concluding game of last week’s fixture, their game against Machida Zelvia was a return to the purple patch after a winless run in two games. They conceded a goal in the twenty-ninth minute by a defensive spillage from a long throw-in. A cross from the edge of the box met Sora Hiraga’s header to equal the scoreline. In the final minutes of the 95th-minute saga, a bullet shot from Fukuda gave them the lead.

For this game, they will be in their domicile colours, purple, and in front of their fans, who will be expecting them to keep the faith as they push forward. The last five games, which produced three wins and two losses, saw them score. Nagoya’s defenses would be tested through the fires.

Kyoto Sanga: Lineup

Lineup: The team sticks with the traditional 4-3-3, which sometimes bends into a 4-3-2-1. Last week, the defenders stepped up and handled affairs. Coach Kwi Cho would be sure to revisit their tactical approach as they look to take all points at home.

🔖 Predicted Lineup(4-3-3): Ota, Fukuda-Miyamoto-William-Sugai, Yonemoto-Pedro-Hirato, Souza-Hara-Sato

👤 Head Coach: Kwi-Jea Cho

🏠 Nagoya Grampus: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WLLWD

Granted that Nagoya’s performances have been an eyesore this season, they somehow managed to rake seven points from the last five league games - courtesy of two wins, two losses, and one stalemate. In fifteen league trials, they have conceded twenty-three goals, while only scoring seventeen. On the road, they have failed to rally crucial points, winning only one of four games and losing three.

Against Okayama, it was a bore draw, with goallessness championing upon the failure of either side to capitalise on good chances.

Nagoya Grampus: Lineup

Manager Kante Hasegawa hopes to play the 3-0 winning lineup deployed against Shimizu in the subsequent game against Okayama, but the tactic proves inadequate as they couldn't convert chances. The defenders took charge, and for a team that needs goals, that is not such an encouraging style of play.

Still, the lineup remains:

🔖 Predicted Lineup (3-4-1-2): Pissano, Sato-Mikuni-Hara, Tokumoto-Shihashi-Inagaki-Uchida, Izumi, M. Castro-Nagai

👤 Head Coach: Kenta Hasegawa
