Nagoya Grampus, Recent FormNagoya Grampus were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Yokohama F. Marinos. Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Yokohama F. Marinos, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. With 5 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
There will be mixed feelings from Grampus, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Vissel Kobe, Recent FormVissel Kobe head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 home win against Shonan Bellmare in their last league encounter. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Shonan Bellmare's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Takayuki Yoshida will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They have shown a decent streak of form away from home recently, having put together 4 wins on the trot on their travels and are now enjoying an unbeaten run of 4 straight matches.
The Vissel Kobe travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Yuya Osako, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Ushi have been unable to break through Nagoya's defence and find the back of the net. Ushi have let in at least one goal in each of their last 5 league matches at Toyota Stadium against Nagoya.
Vissel have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Nagoya.
Vissel player Andrés Iniesta will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Nagoya, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Vissel Kobe 0 - 2 Nagoya GrampusWith no real injury worries, Nagoya manager Kenta Hasegawa will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
