Nagoya Grampus, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Nagoya Grampus players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Kashima Antlers. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Kashima Antlers who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well at Toyota Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Recent FormThe Sanfrecce Hiroshima players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Vissel Kobe recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Vissel Kobe's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Michael Skibbe will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and overall this season they have recorded 5 clean sheets in 12 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Douglas Vieira will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
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.
It's been a very long time since Sanfrecce came to Toyota Stadium in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 5 visits. In their past 5 meetings, Grampus' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Sanfrecce will have to take their chances when they come. Grampus have struggled to break down the Sanfrecce defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Sanfrecce has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Nagoya, being unable to find a win from any of their last 7 league meetings at Toyota Stadium.
