Gwangju battle Suwon for fame and triumph.
- Suwon have the fewest scored goals (0) away in K-League 1
Both contenders have had plenty of rest since their previous competitive action. Let's have faith in that this will be an active fixture!
Gwangju form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Gwangju's two home games in the K-League 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium.
A nice win for Gwangju last time playing, versus Incheon United. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-0 with Asani, Lee and Ji-Sung scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Gwangju "killed" Incheon United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Gwangju goalkeeper Kim did an outstanding job against Incheon United with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. Midfield player Asani got a match rating of 9.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Asani scored three goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Jeonbuk Motors.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 Gwangju have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Early season league goal statistics from Gwangju's 2 home games: {5 goals}, 2 conceded.
Suwon form and stats
The K-League 1 season is young and Suwon have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Suwon lost away at Ulsan (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfield player Lee was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.35/10. Lee hit one key pass.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Suwon Bluewings.We have checked recent matches where Suwon have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 3 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats.
Suwon have the goal stats of 0-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the prior ten meetings between these two squads are: seven wins for Gwangju, one draw and two wins for Suwon. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
