Suwon form and stats

There's been little loot from Suwon's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the K-League 1. Suwon only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws.

Suwon might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Incheon United proved too strong as Suwon slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Suwon Civil Stadium. Suwon were so close to getting something from the game against Incheon United, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Gangwon with the score of 2-1.

Suwon are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

Suwon have conceded 31 goals in these games.
