Seoul form and stats

6-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the K-League 1 numbers at home for Seoul so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager Ahn led his Seoul to a defeat away at Daejeon Citizen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Seoul World Cup Stadium. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The defeat against Daejeon Citizen was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Kang). The striker Paločević was announced as "man of the match" for Seoul with the rating of 7.45/10. Paločević hit two key passes and had 57 successful passes (of 69 total).

Before that, Seoul drew at home versus Pohang Steelers.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Seoul have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

A decent goal production from Seoul in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 13 league matches.

Daegu form and stats

Playing away, Daegu have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 6 defeats in the K-League 1 this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Daegu have lost on their last two travels.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Ulsan.

We have checked recent matches where Daegu have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 1 victory, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Daegu as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. Daegu have conceded 18 goals in these away matches. Daegu has visited these top teams three times, and 2 of 3 has ended with 2 goals or more!
