FC Tokyo, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to Gamba Osaka will not have sat easily with the FC Tokyo squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Gamba Osaka, who had 18 shots on goal with 9 on target.
Supremo Albert Puig will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 16 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Ajinomoto Stadium, Diego Oliveira will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Nagoya Grampus, Recent FormNagoya Grampus enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Avispa Fukuoka last time out in the league. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Avispa Fukuoka's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Kenta Hasegawa will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
On an individual basis, Kasper Junker will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Nagoya Grampus' last 6 league games.
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.
FC Tokyo have struggled to break down the Nagoya defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
When playing away from home in the league, Nagoya have failed to win any of their last 6 meetings with FC Tokyo, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With no real injury worries, FC Tokyo manager Albert Puig will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Nagoya manager Kenta Hasegawa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
