🏠 Shimizu S-Pulse: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: L-D-W-W-W

The Shizuoka side has been on flying form in recent form, with three victories recorded in their last three league exhibitions. A sudden pitch reverse has shown this team which struggled last month in free-scoring form. At home, they have thrived in three games while failing against Kyoto Sanga. Shimizu‘s most admirable pitch attribute is their drive for goals, with a ninety percent scoring occurrence in their games.

Shimizu S-Pulse: Lineup

Coach Akiba’s formula has to be the midfield insistence, with Kitagawa playing headlong with the midfield trio, sometimes playing Inui as a dummy runner up front. The plan worked perfectly last week against Tokyo with Inui emerging as the most valuable player of the game - on record with his numerous contributions.

🔖 Predicted Lineup(4-2-3-1): Oki, Yoshida-Uno-Takahashi-Kitazume, Buemo-Numiba, Capigaba-Inui-Matsuzaki, Kitagawa

👤 Head Coach: Tadahiro Akiba

🏠 Nagoya Grampus: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: L-L-W-L-L

Nagoya is in a sorry state this season, with five losses in eight recent games; and an overall losing performance of eight in thirteen games. They have the worst defensive lineup in the league this season, conceding twenty-three goals in thirteen games. Away from home, they have faced defeat on all fronts, with four losses against all opponents, despite scoring in two of these road meetings.

Nagoya Grampus: Lineup

Unless urgent changes are made, One of the managers we will not see next season will be K.Hasegawa, who has led last season’s high-flying Nagoya to their knees this season. His three-defenders-at-the-back setup has undermined the team greatly, with his strikers failing to convert goal scoring opportunities. Overall, the team’s morale is in shambles.

🔖 Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Schmidt, Kawazura- Mikuni-Nogami, Nakahama- Shihashi-Inagaki-Izumi, Morishima-M.Castro, Nagai

👤 Head Coach: Kante Hasegawa

🎯 Shimizu S-Pulse vs Nagoya Grampus match prediction 03 MAY 2025

Nagoya has a rich history against Shimizu S Pulse who has also regusters their weight in clashes. However a sharp twist and turn in recent events place the current hosts miles ahead, with better pitch performance in the first thirteen league games. While Shimizu has a rock-solid form, Nagoya has crumbled on the road. As such, we won’t be needing a soothsayer to postulate the game in favour of the better side, the hosts.
