Gwangju will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 20 points behind Jeonbuk Motors.
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!
Gwangju form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the K-League 1 this season. Gwangju have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium. Gwangju have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Gwangju travelled for their previous game, a trip to Ulsan that ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Daegu with a 6-4 scoreline.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Gwangju as they have a new game in only three days, a K-League 1 match thankfully also at home. Sangju Sangmu are visiting.
The Gwangju fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Jeonbuk Motors form and stats
6-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Jeonbuk Motors in their K-League 1 matches away.
Jeonbuk lost away at Seongnam (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Gangwon.
A quick return to home after this game, as Jeonbuk Motors are hosting Ulsan in the K-League 1 only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Jeonbuk's attacking play in away games, having scored 16 goals in 10 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Jeonbuk Motors as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
