Oita Trinita Prediction- Can Oita Trinita avoid a third defeat on trot?

Oita Trinita sit in 6th place in the J-League and are level on points with 5th placed opponents, Nagoya Grampus, but they find themselves looking to avoid a third defeat on the trot.

Recent back-to-back losses against Kawasaki Frontale 1-0 at home and a 3-1 loss away at FC Tokyo have stalled Oita’s progress up the league table in recent matches.

The hosts now return to their Ōita Bank Dome looking to avoid a third loss on the trot, while also looking to further improve upon an average looking home record.

Oita Trinita’s home record stands at 3-1-3 7/4 and includes wins against Yokohama F. Marinos, Vegalta Sendai and Sagan Tosu but three defeats have offset these victories.

In addition, goals have been few and far between where Oita Trinita have been concerned, especially at home where all 7 of Oita Trinita’s home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals to date.

Following back-to-back defeats, we can expect Oita Trinita to tighten up at the back here as they look for a clean sheet in order to avoid a third loss on the bounce.

Nagoya Grampus Prediction – Can Nagoya also end losing run?

Nagoya Grampus sit just one league position above their hosts, Oita Trinita, and level on points as the visitors also look to prevent recent back-to-back defeats from turning into anything more sinister.

Following a good start to their new J-League campaign which saw Nagoya Grampus win 6 of their first 9 matches of the season, they’ve since slumped to 1 win from their last 5 matches overall.

This has cost the visitor’s ground in the race for a top three finish as they now trail 3rd placed Kashima Antlers by 3 points prior to this weekend’s Japanese top flight action.

Recent back-to-back defeats to bottom half outfits Matsumoto Yamaga and Vegalta Sendai weren’t in the script for Yahiro Kazama’s side, and they too hold an unimpressive away record of 2-3-3 12/11.

4 of Nagoya Grampus’s 8 away matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals but we can also expect a reaction from the visitors here as they look to steady the ship.

 

Key-Facts – Oita Trinita v Nagoya Grampus

  • All 7 of Oita Trinita’s home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals to date
  • 4 of Nagoya Grampus’s 8 away matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals
  • Both teams head into this clash on the back of 2 defeats on the trot each

 

Betting Tips Verdict

This looks like being a war of attrition between two sides who are struggling for current form and this could end up a low-scoring affair as a result.
