Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Nagoya Grampus - Yokohama F. Marinos!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
When playing at home in the J-League, Nagoya Grampus have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games.
The Grampus fans got no joy from their last match, a J-League game also here at Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Kashima Antlers (placed 9th). Prior to that, an away loss at Tokyo in the Nabisco Cup.
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 ten games. Grampus has won six of these, drawn one and lost three.
There will be little rest for Grampus after this match as they are travelling to Yokohama for a J-League game in only four days.

Yokohama F. Marinos form and stats
As the visiting team in J-League matches, Yokohama F. Marinos have produced an overall stat of 2-2-3 so far.
Yokohama might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Kawasaki Frontale proved too strong as Yokohama F. Marinos slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Nissan Stadium. A 1-1 draw at Consadole Sapporo (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties)'s stadium before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Yokohama F. Marinos in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Yokohama F. Marinos, one draw and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Yokohama are hosting Cerezo Osaka in the J-League only four days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Yokohama's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 7 league matches away. For Yokohama, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
