Nagoya Grampus vs. Shimizu S-Pulse

Platform comparison

Market context

Nagoya Grampus face Shimizu S-Pulse in the J. League, and the market’s 0% YES pricing implies the match is effectively being treated as settled or no longer actionable rather than a live football call. The recent head-to-head has leaned Nagoya’s way: they have 14 wins to Shimizu’s 10 with eight draws in the overall series, and Nagoya have won the last two meetings listed by FotMob, including the most recent league game on 8 February 2026, a 1-0 Nagoya win.[2][14]

That history matters because this fixture has often been tighter than the all-time record suggests. Across the last 26 meetings, the split is 12 Nagoya wins, eight Shimizu wins and six draws, while AiScore’s five-game sample shows both sides have generally kept scores modest, with Nagoya averaging 1.0 goals scored and 0.8 conceded, and Shimizu at 1.4 scored and 1.4 conceded.[6][3] For traders, that makes team news and selection changes more important than the raw head-to-head, especially if either side rotates heavily or loses a first-choice centre-back or forward late in the week.

The key catalysts are the final line-ups, any late injury or suspension updates, and whether either club has just come through a congested run that forces rotation. Nagoya’s last listed result before this fixture was a loss away at Machida Zelvia, while Shimizu were beaten by Yokohama F. Marinos, so the form angle coming in is not especially one-sided.[15] If either side confirms a weakened XI, the market should react more to that than to the historical edge, particularly given how often this pairing has produced narrow margins.[4][13]
