The Albirex Niigata players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Gamba Osaka recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.  In that game they had 58% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Gamba Osaka who had 17 attempts and 5 on target.  

Although they have only shipped 2 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 4 goals netted in those 6 matches.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.  

They have been performing well at Denka Big Swan Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.

Nagoya Grampus won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Machida Zelvia, given that their opponents sit a full 16 places above them in the league table.  They came away from that fixture with a 56% share of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Machida Zelvia, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.  

Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Nagoya Grampus, Kasper Junker will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
