All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming encounter sees Nagoya Grampus Eight and Sanfrecce Hiroshima square off once more, 7 months after their Emperor Cup meeting which Sanfrecce Hiroshima won 2-4. Nagoya Grampus Eight head into this encounter off the back of a defeat to Vissel Kobe on March 14, hoping to recover their form. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in four consecutive matches.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima, on the other hand, come into this clash with momentum, following two straight victories against Gamba Osaka and Johor Darul T in their most recent games. Despite this, their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across ten consecutive away matches.
