Nagoya will try to get back on winning track in a game against Vegalta Sendai at home. Nagoya started a season great, they conceded only 2 goals in the first 12 rounds but defeats against Kawasaki shaken a team a little bit. They are in a good position after 18 rounds, currently second with an 11-3-4 record. Nagoya is a good team and their main goal this season is the Asian Champions League and I think they have the quality to achieve it. Their opponent today is Vegalta Sendai, which started a season very bad but now they won the last 2 games, one in the Cup and one in the league. Still, Sendai has a lot of financial problems, they are in the relegation zone and it will be hard for them to stay in the league. Their main problems are their defence, the second-worst in the league and I think right now they cant cope with Nagoya, especially in the away game. I expect low scoring game here and Nagoya to win 1-0 or 2-0.

My prediction: Nagoya to win

名古屋将在主场迎战仙台七夕尝试重获胜利。名古屋拥有一个出色的赛季，他们在前12轮中只丢了2个进球，但是对阵川崎的失败让球队有些动摇。他们在18轮比赛后处于良好状态，目前以11胜3平4负的成绩排名第二。名古屋是一支很好的球队，他们本赛季的主要目标是取得亚冠联赛的资格，我认为他们有能力做到这一点。今天的对手是仙台，赛季开局非常糟糕，但现在他们赢得了最近两场比赛，一场是杯赛，一场是联赛。尽管如此，仙台仍然有很多财务问题，他们处于降级区，很难留在顶级联赛中。他们的主要问题是防守，是联赛第二差的，我认为目前他们无法应对名古屋，尤其是在客场。我预测名古屋能以1-0或2-0的微弱优势赢球。

预测：名古屋胜
