This fixture stars two participants living in the lower section of the K-League 1, Incheon United holding 10th spot and Gwangju lying 9th. A good opportunity for one of the participants to boost their position.
- Incheon United have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- Gwangju is in the worst form (0-2-4)
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!
Incheon United form and stats
With 1 K-League 1 win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Incheon United are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Incheon United are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 294 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Seong-hoon).
The spoils were shared in Incheon United's previous game, also at home. Visiting Jeonbuk Motors (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Jeju United (0-2).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 as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Incheon United has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
It should be added that a look at the 11 latest league fixtures reveals that 10 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Gyeongnam in only four days. This game is also played here at Sungui Arena Park.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Incheon United here at Sungui Arena Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games).
Gwangju form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gwangju so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). Gwangju seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Gwangju failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Daegu (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Lee, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.24. Lee hit two key passes and won 7 of 8 duels.
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Seoul's place.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 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Gwangju wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
Highlight this: 10 of the last 13 league matches featuring this team have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).
Gwangju have another game that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a FA Cup fixture against Seoul E.. A rough calendar for the visitors!
Gwangju find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league.
Head 2 Head
Gwangju have won or drawn the last 4 games (3-1-0) facing Incheon.The previous head to head encounter ended Gwangju - Incheon United 5-0, played this season.
