This campaign has been grim for Incheon United so far, while Seoul have taken lots of points. Will the highest placed claim victory again at Sungui Arena Park?
- Incheon United have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- Seoul have the most scored goals in the second half (19) in K-League 1
It's no vacation for neither Incheon United nor Seoul 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
With 1 K-League 1 win, 5 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Incheon United are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Incheon United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Jeju United, Pohang Steelers and Ulsan), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Incheon United have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
It's back home for Incheon, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Daejeon Citizen away with the result 3-1. Kim (2) and Mpoku found the net in that victory. At last, a league victory after five matches without.
2-2 away at Daegu before that.Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this club's last 12 league games, 9 have produced two goals or less.
There will be little rest for Incheon United after this match as they are travelling to Suwon Bluewings for a K-League 1 game in only four days.
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 (7 from 8 games).
Seoul form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their K-League 1 travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Seoul have lost on their last two travels.
Seoul are travelling again after losing away to Daegu in their previous match (0-1).
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Gangwon.A quick return to home after this game, as Seoul are hosting Pohang Steelers in the K-League 1 only four days away.
Seoul are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 8 away games so far. Seoul struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
The most recent reported match between these squads is the Seoul - Incheon United 2-1 played earlier this season.
