Ahead of today’s Nagoya Grampus vs Jubilo Iwata betting tips, the home side have now lost just once in twelve. Understandably, there are doubts about their ability to transfer their great form in J-League 2 to the higher levels of the league above, but having won their first match, their players will be confident that they can compete in Japan’s elite division. Nagoya Grampus have only lost one of their last six games at the Mizuho Athletics Stadium.

Jubilo Iwata couldn’t have picked a tougher game to open their account for the season. Last week, they hosted the current champions Kawasaki Frontale and were subsequently handed a 3-0 beating in front of their own supporters. Manager Hiroshi Nanami guided his team to a 6th place finish last year and he will be hoping to improve on that final position this time around. Check out our Japanese football predictions in the next section.

Nagoya Grampus vs Jubilo Iwata Prediction and Betting Advice

The home team dissected for today’s free Nagoya Grampus vs Jubilo Iwata bets will be riding the crest of a wave for the first few weeks of their J-League campaign. There should be a festive atmosphere at the Mizuho Athletics Stadium this weekend for their first game back in Japan’s top flight.

Having picked up a valuable 3-2 away to Gamba Osaka on day one, Manager Yahiro Kazama will believe his players can take advantage of their momentum against a club still reeling from their heavy loss to the champions. Furthermore, Kazama will be heartened by his side’s historical record in this fixture.

The teams in our preview have faced off thirteen times since 2009 and Grampus haven’t been beaten once. During that period, they picked up ten wins and two draws against Jubilo. Everything from current form to history seems stacked against the away team here. During our research, we found some brilliantly priced J-League football odds at William Hill for the home win. We recommend taking a look at them.

Last weekend was a really tough way to start a fresh campaign for the away side featured in this week’s Nagoya Grampus vs Jubilo Iwata predictions. Losing against the champions Kawasaki Frontale is usually nothing to panic about, but it was the manner of the defeat that will have had an impact.

Kawasaki Frontale raced into a three-goal lead before half time, leaving the hosts shell-shocked and unable to recover. The result left Hiroshi Nanami’s men rooted to the bottom of the table after one round of J-League results. Their resolve must be on the verge of cracking and this weekend, Grampus can take advantage of that.

In three of their last four victories at the Mizuho Athletics Stadium, Iwata were able to start the game in positive fashion and score at least once in the first forty-five. Having netted three times last week at Osaka, their attack should be purring. That should give them an excellent chance of hitting the net in the first half on Saturday. Betfair have some sensational odds to take advantage of with that in mind. The value they offer is unparalleled.
