It's still early in the J-League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Oita Trinita - Nagoya Grampus preview!
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 Trinita and Nagoya Grampus.
Oita Trinita form and stats
Only two J-League home games for Oita Trinita so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
No payout for Oita Trinita in their previous match, an away game at Gamba Osaka that ended in defeat 1-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Vissel Kobe.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Oita Trinita as they are travelling to their away game against Shimizu S-Pulse in the J-League. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Oita Trinita at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
The seven points Nagoya Grampus have gathered from their first three away trips in the J-League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Nagoya Grampus has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Grampus have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Mitchell James Langerak. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in J-League.
The supporters enjoyed Grampus's previous game versus Sagan Tosu (placed 16th), a J-League 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Cerezo Osaka at their stadium, the result 2-0.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Ficcadenti when N. Maeda scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Grampus manager M. Ficcadenti as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
The travelling fans enjoy Grampus's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - five - three (Oita Trinita wins - draws - Nagoya Grampus wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
