This could be an interesting match as Gwangju have their presumed home advantage while Sangju Sangmu are ahead 13 points in the K-League 1 table.
It's no vacation for neither Gwangju nor Sangju Sangmu as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Gwangju.
The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Jeonbuk Motors in the K-League 1 last time out and are looking for a win here. 1-1 away at Ulsan before that.
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?
Gwangju has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Gwangju have conceded 17 from these games.
Sangju Sangmu form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (10) in K-League 1, on their K-League 1 travels is 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. Sangju seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
231 minutes! That's how long the Sangju Sangmu goalkeeper Byeong-Geun Hwang and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Sangju Sangmu played 0-0 against Seongnam in their previous match. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Suwon Bluewings.
Sangju have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 9 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Sangju Sangmu have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
