NGY vs KAW Dream11 prediction and preview 

The Japanese League has got off to a fiery start and the early table-toppers Kawaski Frontale will take on their nearest contenders, Nagoya Grampus. Frontale are atop the J-League standings with a staggering 32 points in just 12 games, dropping a mere 12 points all season. Kawaski are yet to taste defeat in the competition and come into the game after settling for a 1-1 draw against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

Frontale will hope to return to winning ways, but Grampus will provide to be a stern test. Nagoya are only three points off J League, with the defeat against Sanagn Tosu being the only blemish in their record. They bounced from that loss with a 2-0 win over Gamba Osaka and will look to draw inspiration and hope to cut the gap to Frontale when the two teams clash at the Toyota Stadium.
