Nagoya Grampus form and stats

Nagoya Grampus, who have the most clean sheets (12) in J-League, have performed here at Toyota Stadium this season with 9 wins from 12 J-League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2. Ever since the Kashima Antlers game Nagoya Grampus has been unbeatable here at Toyota Stadium producing six straight wins.

Mateus was the last player to score a league goal for Nagoya Grampus and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Grampus haven't scored in 180 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager M. Ficcadenti led his Nagoya Grampus to a defeat in the J-League match away at Sanfrecce Hiroshima. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Toyota Stadium. Preceding that game was the away draw at Sagan Tosu that finished 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with 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 13 games. Nagoya Grampus has won nine of these, drawn one and lost three.

A decent goal production from Grampus in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 12 league matches. Nagoya Grampus are not conceding a lot of goals here at Toyota Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 12 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Tokyo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their J-League travels is 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Tokyo are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Tokyo had fun at their own home (Toyota Stadium) last time out, beating Consadole Sapporo 1-0. K. Nagai scored. A 1-2 defeat away at Kawasaki Frontale before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Tokyo in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Tokyo, four draws and two defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The J-League trip to Vegalta Sendai.

Tokyo are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 22 away goals from 15 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Tokyo have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Tokyo - Grampus 1-0. Nagoya Grampus-Tokyo H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Grampus one win, Tokyo seven wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
