Sagan Tosu, Recent FormWhen 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, Recent FormNagoya 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.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium, Grampus have been unable to break through the Sagan defence and find the back of the net.
Sagan have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Nagoya in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 7 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Sagan manager Kenta Kawai will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Nagoya manager Kenta Hasegawa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
