This campaign has been a rollercoaster for these participants so far, highs and lows resulting in mid-table positions so far. Get set for Nagoya Grampus - Avispa Fukuoka!
- Nagoya Grampus haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Avispa Fukuoka have the fewest conceded goals (9) in J-League
It's no vacation for neither Nagoya Grampus nor Avispa Fukuoka as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
The story so far in the J-League for Nagoya Grampus at their home stadium is 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Grampus are returning here after visiting Shimizu S-Pulse and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Soma and Sakai scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Hasegawa when Soma scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute. The attacker Mateus won the honour of being "man of the match" for Nagoya Grampus with the rating of 7.9/10. Mateus served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nagoya Grampus have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The manager Hasegawa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sanfrecce Hiroshima in only three days.
Nagoya Grampus are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Grampus have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Avispa Fukuoka form and stats

We have checked recent matches where Avispa Fukuoka have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 1 victory, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Avispa Fukuoka are hosting Urawa Reds in the J-League only three days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Avispa Fukuoka as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league.
