Ratchaburi vs Nagoya Grampus

Ratchaburi will be keen to get off the mark in the AFC Champions League Group G when they take on Nagoya Grampus at the Rajamangala National Stadium.

Ratchaburi’s hopes of making it out of Group G have suffered a massive blow with back-to-back losses to start their group stage journey. Seeking their first goal in the group stage, Ratchaburi cannot take much courage from their recent scoring output at home. They have frustratingly drawn a blank in three of their last six home matches, scoring precisely once per game in the other three. Entertainment has been relatively sparse across their previous four fixtures on home turf as they have all featured under 1.5 total goals (W1, D2, L1). Yet, if they find the net here, the ‘Dragons’ are likely to do it before half-time, considering six of their last seven home goals scored have come in the first half of play.

Nagoya have won both of their opening group stage fixtures ‘to nil,’ with three of their four goals scored across those triumphs coming on or beyond the 60th minute. A 1-0 away win over Johor DT on Matchday 1 extend their unbeaten run on the road to four straight games (W2, D2), a sequence that saw them keep all four clean sheets. Additionally, the ‘Grampus’ have registered nine shutouts in nine of their last ten away matches in all competitions (W6, D3, L1), with four of their six triumphs in that spread of games yielding the identical 1-0 scoreline. The last time Nagoya won an away fixture in which they conceded a goal was against Avispa Fukuoka in late February.
