The visitors are W4-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the K-League 1. Three has not been a lucky number for Gwangju as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Seongnam match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Gwangju are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Gwangju play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-4 to Jeonbuk Motors. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Daegu.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Gwangju played away with similar odds. This revealed two games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

Gwangju find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. 14 goals have been conceded by Gwangju in these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
