I'll try Nagoya here.
Hosts unfortunetely did not pursue Kashiva(a newcomer in J. League!)and were only a runners up in J.L.!But they can win some trophy.
They already made a huge step towards it when they took revange and eleminated Kashiva in last round after penelties.
They are the strongest team left in this cup and their form is fantastic recently.
They won last 6 home games including extended time and last 9 including also away games(also including extended time)!
They are pretty strong at home. During whole season in J. League they lost only one time at home and it was quite long time ago.
Yokohama finished 5th in J.League but they have tallied 15 points less than Nagoya!
They are not some great travellers as they won just 3 times in last 10 games outside their city.
I think that home pitch will be decisive, Nagoya want to finish a season with some trophy, winning this game will mean a 1/2 of Emperors cup and also elemination of one of the strongest(if not the strongest)opponent that still are playing in the cup.
Good luck.
Nagoya had also ain impressive goal difference(+31)while yokohama had only +6.
