Wins for Cerezo and Antlers, coupled with Gamba’s loss means that Cerezo can still pop into the top three at the expense of Gamba or Antlers if they slip up next week. Meanwhile, at the bottom, a win for Vissel is vital, while Tokyo will go down if Vissel win and they do not manage a win – only problem for Vissel – they are away at eds, while Tokyo have Sanga to hand them the points!? Vegalta are also in trouble, though. If Vissel and Tokyo win, then it goes down to goal difference if Vegalta lose. Vissel need a 3-0 win while Vegalta lose 4-0 (or any combination of seven goals going against Vegalta or for Vissel!) for that to happen, though!1 Nagoya Grampus 69 33 22 3 8 52 36 +16 2 Kashima Antlers 59 33 16 11 6 50 30 +20 3 Gamba Osaka 59 33 17 8 8 62 44 +18 4 Cerezo Osaka 58 33 16 10 7 52 30 +22 5 Shimizu S-Pulse 54 33 15 9 9 60 46 +14 6 Kawasaki Frontale 53 33 15 8 10 60 46 +14 7 Sanfrecce Hiroshima 51 33 14 9 10 44 36 +8 8 Yokohama F･Marinos 51 33 15 6 12 43 37 +6 9 Urawa Reds 48 33 14 6 13 48 37 +11 10 Albirex Niigata 46 33 11 13 9 45 44 +1 11 Jubilo Iwata 44 33 11 11 11 36 43 -7 12 Montedio Yamagata 41 33 11 8 14 28 41 -13 13 Omiya Ardija 39 33 10 9 14 37 45 -8 14 Vegalta Sendai 38 33 10 8 15 39 45 -6 15 F.C.Tokyo 36 33 8 12 13 36 39 -3 16 Vissel Kobe 35 33 8 11 14 33 45 -12 17 Kyoto Sanga F.C. 16 33 3 7 23 28 60 -32 18 Shonan Bellmare 16 33 3 7 23 30 79 -49
