Gwangju form and stats

Gwangju's first K-League 1 home game here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat from 18 matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Gwangju with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Suwon game, 216 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Gwangju, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Gwangju are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 589 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Song Seung-Min).

Gwangju are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Sangju Sangmu. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Seoul.

At Gwangju World Cup Stadium, Gwangju has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
