    Nagoya Grampus Team Overview

    Nagoya Grampus have had a difficult start to the season and their results have been inconsistent. In their last five matches they have won two and lost three, which points to an unstable run of form over that short stretch. There are clear problems at the back - they are conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game while scoring 1.5. Their league position remains relevant thanks to a small gap from where they need to be, but their current level of performance makes it hard to see them as a reliable contender for points against the top sides.
