A key match in J-League as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Nagoya Grampus in 3rd position and Kawasaki Frontale placed 1st, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Grampus and Kawasaki Frontale.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
2-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the J-League numbers at home for Nagoya Grampus so far this season.
It's back home for Grampus, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Shonan Bellmare away with the result 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Grampus lost 0-1 at Tokyo's place.
Nagoya Grampus can score goals in their home matches. After 4 league matches they have found the net 9 times. 5 goals have been conceded.
Kawasaki Frontale form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (34) in J-League, on their J-League travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats. In general it has been a productive period now for Kawasaki Frontale as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.
The supporters enjoyed Kawasaki's previous game versus Cerezo Osaka (placed 2nd), a J-League 5-2 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Consadole Sapporo with the score of 6-1.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Cerezo Osaka was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
The Kawasaki manager T. Oniki has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 19 goals in 5 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Kawasaki Frontale as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Nagoya Grampus, three draws and six wins for Kawasaki Frontale. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
