Nagoya Grampus vs Kyoto Prediction & Betting Tips (26 May)

Although they remain firmly in the mix to secure a playoff place, the wheels have started to come off for Kyoto in recent months, with Kyoto’s men securing just 12 points from their last 11 games. Nagoya Grampus have won several games at home this season, securing 14 wins from 19 matches and scoring 46 goals in total.

Nagoya Grampus are rarely involved in home games containing four goals or more, with just three of their previous 20 matches falling into this high-scoring category. The same is true of Kyoto on their top-flight travels, with only two of their most recent 20 trips producing over 3.5 goals, so any deviation from this pattern would have to be seen as a bit of a shock.

Somewhat incredibly, at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 14 of the previous 15 Kyoto games at this level, and they are without a goal in eight away matches on the bounce. As for Nagoya Grampus, both teams have scored in just five of their last 20 home fixtures in the J1 League, so don’t expect too many fireworks.
