Wednesday night, August 17th, kick off 19.00 sees two big games, for different reasons – Gamba Osaka v. Nagoya Grampus in a battle for the top spot, and Kashima Antlers v. Cerezo Osaka, to gain points to pull away from the relegation-threatened pack. These games are the games in hand that the four ACL clubs have held since it was held back from the 3rd May to allow those clubs time for an ACL game to be played. With Reysol losing 6-1 to Jubilo yesterday, the goal difference of the Sun Kings took a huge hit. F Marinos were taken out by Vissel Kobe and dropped away, and Nagoya took full advantage by beating Sanfrecce away (while Gamba drew at Cerezo) and moving to the top.Wednesday night’s game will see Nagoya pull clear at the top if they can come away with a win, or even a draw, while Gamba can take over the top spot with a win. So it’s an early title decider??!
