0-0 away at ThespaKusatsu Gunma before that.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Tokushima Vortis as they have a new game in only three days, a J2-League match thankfully also at home. Tochigi are visiting.

Nagoya Grampus form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Nagoya Grampus, as they won the J-League Cup.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nagoya Grampus so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose).

Grampus go into this game after a win, the home game against Cerezo Osaka that ended 1-0. Mateus, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.05. Mateus served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times.

It was a J-League defeat before that one as the away game against Yokohama F. Marinos wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Nagoya Grampus have another fixture away from home in just three days, a J-League match versus Shimizu S-Pulse. A strenuous calendar for the visiting team!

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Nagoya Grampus's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. Nagoya Grampus have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
