Nagoya Grampus form and stats

There's been little loot from Nagoya Grampus's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the J-League. Nagoya Grampus, who have the most conceded goals (26) away in J-League, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 6 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row. Recent form does not give Nagoya Grampus much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sanfrecce Hiroshima will be a tough nut to crack.

Two away games in a row for Nagoya Grampus, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Shimizu S-Pulse in the J-League. A draw for Nagoya Grampus before that, at their own venue hosting Kawasaki Frontale (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Nagoya Grampus in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Nagoya Grampus, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Nagoya Grampus's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 14 league matches away. In the opposite end, Nagoya Grampus have conceded 26 goals in their away games.
