Goal Statistics

Nagoya Grampus Eight's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday morning, not least because Shimizu S-Pulse have conceded in each of their last 6 J-League outings. A PG of 1.5 for Kenta Hasegawa's side suggests that run should continue.

Nagoya Grampus Eight's defensive record is very strong, Kenta Hasegawa's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive J-League matches. An average PG rating of 1.0 for Shimizu S-Pulse makes sense in this context.
