Jeju United form and stats

3-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the K-League 1 numbers at home for Jeju United so far this season.

Jeju United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Daegu (placed 4th). The penalty miss from Yuri in the defeat against Daegu was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Jeonbuk Motors.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Jeju have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 3.

Jeju United has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
