Suwon form and stats

0-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Suwon in their K-League 1 matches away.

Suwon go into this game after a win, the home game against Gangwon that ended 2-1. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Jeonnam Dragons (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in the FA Cup.

Seung-gyu Han came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Gangwon last time out, making the manager Kim Do-Kyun feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Seung-gyu Han scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Gangwon.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Suwon manager Kim Do-Kyun has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Pohang Steelers zero wins, zero draws and Suwon four victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
