Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Nagoya Grampus & Tokushima Vortis face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Ybc Levain Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the J2-League.
Nagoya Grampus form and stats
Nagoya Grampus must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three J-League games here.
The spoils were shared in Nagoya Grampus's previous game, also at home. Visiting Kashiwa Reysol travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Midfielder Mateus was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.11 (out of ten) in that game. Mateus scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
A J-League defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Kawasaki Frontale.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Grampus's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
The Nagoya Grampus fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Nagoya Grampus have conceded only 2 goals.
Tokushima Vortis form and stats
They also participated in Ybc Levain Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.Tokushima Vortis are still undefeated on their travels in the J2-League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
The Tokushima goalkeeper Koki Matsuzawa is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 223 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Tokushima Vortis played 0-0 against Blaublitz Akita in their previous match.
Preceding that game was the away J2-League victory against Omiya Ardija with the score of 2-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tokushima Vortis manager Algaba as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Renofa Yamaguchi.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Tokushima Vortis has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
