Nagoya Grampus have been underperforming and need to find that old form that they had last year.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Nagoya Grampus and Shimizu S-Pulse played twice already in the new season. Both games ended with less than 2.5 goals. In fact, both matches ended with less than 1.5 goals – a 0:1 win for Nagoya and a 0:0 draw when Nagoya were hosts. We do not expect to see a much different result in this third match, especially given the importance of the fixture.

Draw No Bet – Nagoya Grampus

This match is difficult to predict due to the bad form of both teams but honestly, Nagoya Grampus are the much stronger team in general. They showed it in the first two fixtures but managed to win only one of them. The draw is highly possible on this instance too, which is why we pick the draw no bet instead of the clean win for the visitors.

Alternative Corners – Over 9

While Shimizu S-Pulse are one of the teams that have taken the fewest corners out of the entire league this season, Nagoya Grampus have the complete opposite stats. On average, Shimizu take 3.8 corners per game and have had an average of 8.5 in their matches. On the other side, Nagoya Grampus have had 11.7 corners on average in their games – more than any other team and also have the highest personal average – 6.3 corners per game.

Shimizu S-Pulse Preview

Shimizu S-Pulse were one of the weakest teams in the previous season and barely made it into the new season without getting relegated. Now that the weaker teams are gone and Shimizu made no improvements, it seems like they are one of the teams that will get relegated. Unless they improve, of course. They will be an interesting team to follow this year but we do not have high expectations.

Nagoya Grampus Preview

Nagoya Grampus were one of the top 5 teams last season and ended at 5th place. They had the 2nd best defense in the entire league but their attack was not the greatest. This new season started in a terrible way for them and we did not expect such poor performances. It is not too late to improve but their chances to make it to the top do not exist at this point.
