An important duel in the bottom section of the K-League 1, with both Incheon United and Gwangju experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 12th place.
- Incheon United have the most conceded goals (25) in K-League 1
- Gwangju have the most matches under the total-line (9) in K-League 1
It's no vacation for neither Incheon nor Gwangju 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.
Incheon United form and stats
Incheon United, who have the most conceded goals (25) in K-League 1, have played 8 K-League 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Pohang Steelers in the K-League 1 last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Daegu (0-3).
This is expected to be a close game, with Incheon United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Incheon United as a small favourite), we find four games. Incheon has won three of these, drawn one and lost zero.
Incheon United are traveling soon after this match as the K-League 1 match at Seoul awaits in three days.
Incheon United has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Incheon United are not conceding a lot of goals here at Sungui Arena Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches.
Gwangju form and stats
There's been little loot from Gwangju's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the K-League 1. Gwangju only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Recent form does not give Gwangju much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Incheon United will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Gwangju have lost on their last two travels.
Two away games in a row for Gwangju, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Suwon in the K-League 1. A 0-2 defeat away at Ulsan before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gwangju playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Gwangju wins, zero draws and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for Gwangju, the K-League 1 home match versus Jeju United. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Gwangju have scored 8 goals in 8 league games away. As opposed to that, Gwangju have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
