J-League: Two teams who have done well so far. Let's get ready for Yokohama F. Marinos - Nagoya Grampus with this comprehensive preview!
- Yokohama F. Marinos have not yet lost a game at home.
- Nagoya Grampus have the most clean sheets (14) in J-League
It's no vacation for neither Yokohama nor Nagoya Grampus as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Yokohama F. Marinos form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium as Yokohama F. Marinos have scored 23 goals to get 27 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the J-League are 8-3-0 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Yokohama tasted defeat here at NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.
Yokohama shared the glory with Shimizu S-Pulse in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Midfielder Élber was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.14 (out of ten) in that game. Élber scored one goal, hit five key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 29 successful passes (of 30 total).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Gamba Osaka and winning 3-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Yokohama have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won seven times, drawn one and lost four.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Yokohama, as the J-League home game vs Oita Trinita is only three days away.
Goals decide football matches and Yokohama are scoring many of them at home; 23 on target from 11 league matches. From these home matches, Yokohama have conceded only 6 goals.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
As the visiting team in J-League matches, Nagoya Grampus, who have the most clean sheets (14) in J-League, have produced an overall stat of 6-3-3 so far. Nagoya Grampus seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for Grampus, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Yokohama (placed 20th). Defender Shinnosuke Nakatani was the best team player with a rating of 7.05. Nakatani won 7 of 8 duels.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Fagiano Okayama.We have checked recent matches where Grampus have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, one draw and zero defeats.
A new game in only three days for Nagoya Grampus, the J-League home match versus Shonan Bellmare. Busy days.
Grampus have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Yokohama victories, three draws and three Nagoya Grampus wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
