There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the K-League 1 table so far. Here's the Gangwon - Gwangju latest:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Gangwon form and stats
Gangwon have played 5 K-League 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Gangwon are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Gangwon, their manager B. Kim and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Gangwon's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-4 versus Busan I'Park (placed 6th). Previous to that game, a FA Cup home match hosting Gangneung City (after extra-time) in a game that was won 2-1.
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?
Gangwon are traveling soon after this match as the FA Cup match at Gwangju awaits in three days.
Gangwon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Gangwon defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Gwangju form and stats
The visitors are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the K-League 1. Recent form does not give Gwangju much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Gangwon will be a tough nut to crack.
Gwangju failed to get anything from their last game, a K-League 1 home match vs Daegu (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 2-4. Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Gimpo (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties).
As you can tell from the result, the match against Daegu was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A new game in only three days for Gwangju, the FA Cup home match versus Gangwon. Busy days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Gwangju's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. It's not easy to score on Gwangju as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - six - two (Gangwon wins - draws - Gwangju wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.Top Goalscorers
