Player to watch: Kasper Junker
Kasper Junker was on the scoresheet the last time Nagoya Grampus hosted Urawa Red Diamonds. While the former Eliteserien top scorer has had a couple of great games this season, he has struggled in recent weeks, with one assist in his last five games. Junker will seek to get back to scoring ways as he takes on Urawa Reds once more.
