Sagan Tosu, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Gamba Osaka will be viewed as a positive outcome for Sagan Tosu and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Gamba Osaka, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 5 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 14 goals in the same period. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Kenta Kawai will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
A win for Sagan Tosu is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Nagoya Grampus, Recent FormNagoya Grampus enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Kyoto Sanga last time out in the league. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Kyoto Sanga's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Kenta Hasegawa will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 6 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
Mateus dos Santos Castro will be hoping to create problems for Sagan Tosu in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Nagoya Grampus.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
Playing at home, Sagan have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Nagoya.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Nagoya will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 5 games.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Nagoya manager Kenta Hasegawa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
