Nagoya Grampus won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 1-0 J1 League losing effort in their last game against Kashima Antlers.

In that game, Nagoya Grampus had 52% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Kashima Antlers had 10 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Kei Chinen (54') was the scorer for Kashima Antlers.

It has not been often in recent games where Nagoya Grampus have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Nagoya Grampus have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 7 goals along the way.

Taking a look at their past results, Nagoya Grampus:

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Kashiwa Reysol and Nagoya Grampus should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. That’s why we have predicted a hard-fought 1-1 scoreline when all is said and done.
