Seongnam form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Seongnam so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-11 (win-draw-lose).

A draw for Seongnam before that, at their own venue hosting Pohang Steelers (1-1).

Seongnam are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 3 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

Seongnam have another game that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a K-League 1 game vs Suwon. A strenuous timetable for the visitors!
