Kyoto Sanga form and stats

Kyoto Sanga have played 15 J-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-6 (wins-draws-losses).

The Kyoto Sanga fans got no joy from their last match, a Emperor Cup duel also played here at Sanga Stadium by Kyocera: A 1-2 defeat against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Finally, a league win after three games without one.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Sagan Tosu.

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 10 league games, 8 have had two goals or less.

The manager Cho will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kawasaki Frontale in only four days.

Kyoto's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nagoya Grampus form and stats

Nagoya Grampus have only collected 15 points from their away games in the J-League, after 3-6-6 (15 played).

Nagoya Grampus are looking to quickly end their 196 minutes long goal drought in the J-League.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Yokohama F. Marinos with 0-4 on the scoreboard. That loss was their first after four consecutive league fixtures winning points. Nagoya Grampus lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Midfield player Uchida was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.52/10. Uchida hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).

A draw for Grampus before that, at their own venue hosting Sanfrecce Hiroshima (0-0).

Look out: 10 of the latest 13 league matches featuring this side have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nagoya Grampus as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Nagoya Grampus have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

These opponents have fought before this season: Nagoya Grampus - Kyoto 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - two - six (Kyoto Sanga wins - draws - Nagoya Grampus wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
