The 17th fixture of J1 League would feature Kawasaki Frontale and Nagoya Grampus at 10:00 Central European Time. This game has been forecasted by experts at Dailysports.
Kawasaki Frontale
Currently, Kawasaki Frontale are struggling in the lower part of the J1 league table on 15th position out of 20 teams with only 17 points from a total of 16 matches. They are just three points off the bottom three so every loss counts. Although they are positioned so low, they have scored a total of twenty-three goals which is significant because only two other teams have scored more than them in the division. However, their defense has leaked twenty-four goals. Their previous five matches saw them collect two defeats ,two draws and one win.
Nagoya Grampus
On the contrary, Nagoya Grampus is doing well and holding up high-end positions on the log. They occupy sixth slot having garnered twenty-six points through sixteen plays while being within three points short from qualifying for AFC Champions League ((3rd Position). Mid-table dog-fight is very tight given that there are minimal margins between teams in point standings, hence each game will be worth a lot to all sides involved. 19 goals to 17 conceded reflects well for Nagoya as far as their goal scoring is concerned, but this is just above average. This season, the team has won three matches and drawn one and lost one.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview
– In their previous encounter, Nagoya Grampus defeated Kawasaki Frontale 2-0.
– Kawasaki Frontale have been scoring first in their previous six games.
– In their last six away matches recently Nagoya Grampus has scored last.
– From the previous 9 homes games against Nagoya Grampus they only lost two times.
Prediction
Kawasaki Frontale may be sitting low in the table standings but they easily score lots of goals. Whereas Nagoya Grampus scores less because it seems more consistent with finding a way into the net in recent days. Consequently, both teams will definitely score a goal in this game considering these factors. Therefore, my bet is on over 2.5 total match score at odds of 1.9
