Nagoya Grampus form and stats

19 points is a decent return from 9 J-League games here at Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium for Nagoya Grampus. The data says 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Grampus, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

It's back home for Nagoya Grampus, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Urawa Reds away with the result 1-0. M. Kanazaki found the net in that victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Vissel Kobe.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nagoya Grampus perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nagoya Grampus as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Nagoya Grampus has won eight of these, drawn one and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Consadole Sapporo are coming to town in four days.

The Nagoya Grampus manager M. Ficcadenti has got the team scoring with 18 from 9 home games in the league. On the other hand, Grampus have conceded 11 goals.

Cerezo Osaka form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the J-League.

Home advantage was not enough for Cerezo Osaka in their previous game, as they lost their J-League-match, hosting Kawasaki Frontale, 1-3. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Vegalta Sendai.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cerezo Osaka playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five Cerezo Osaka wins, three draws and three defeats.

A new game in only four days for Cerezo, the J-League home match versus Shonan Bellmare. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Cerezo's attacking play in away games, having scored 19 goals in 11 league matches away. Cerezo have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
