Goal Statistics

Nagoya Grampus Eight's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday morning, not least because Kyoto Sanga have conceded in each of their last 12 J-League outings. A PG of 1.7 for K. Hasegawa's side suggests that run should continue.

Nagoya Grampus Eight's defensive record is very strong, K. Hasegawa's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive J-League outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Kyoto Sanga makes sense in this context.
