**FC Tokyo are absolutely cruising right now** — four wins in their last five while Nagoya are stuck in a proper slump. This looks like a home team workout. ⚽
Tokyo's on a tear with back-to-back clean sheets, and Nagoya have conceded 8 goals in their last three games. The form gap is massive here. Grampus need to tighten up fast or this could get ugly.
Key storylines:
- **FC Tokyo's defense** has barely been breached lately — **K. Seung-gyu** and the backline will be quietly confident against a struggling Nagoya attack
- **Nagoya's away form is rough** — they've lost three straight on the road and face a Tokyo side that's unbeaten at home in this sequence
- **Midfield control** matters: **S. Homma** and **T. Ko** should dominate possession against a leaky Grampus setup
Expected lineups:
- **FC Tokyo**: K. Seung-gyu, K. Hashimoto, A. Scholz, H. Inamura, S. Muroya, S. Homma, T. Ko, K. Sato, M. Nagakura, M. Ryan
- **Nagoya Grampus**: A. Pisano, S. Tokumoto, H. Fujii, Y. Nogami, T. Hara, K. Nakayama, S. Inagaki, T. Takamine, R. Izumi, Y. Kimura, Y. Yamagishi
Prediction:
**FC Tokyo 2–0 Nagoya Grampus**. Tokyo's form and home record give them the clear edge here. 🎯
