When Sagan Tosu last played in the league they faced Kawasaki Frontale and produced an outstanding 5-2 home win.  In that game they had 40% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Kawasaki Frontale who had 19 attempts and 8 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Marcelo Ryan will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sagan Tosu.

Nagoya Grampus will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against FC Tokyo.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. FC Tokyo had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.  

Kasper Junker will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Nagoya Grampus.
