Sangju Sangmu form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Sangju Stadium as Sangju Sangmu, who have the most points (24) at home in K-League 1, have scored 16 goals to get 24 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the K-League 1 are 8-0-2 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Sangju, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Sangju Sangmu's previous game was a K-League 1 match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Suwon Bluewings (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Incheon United in a game that was won 3-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sangju Sangmu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sangju Sangmu as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Sangju Sangmu has won nine of these, drawn four and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sangju Sangmu as they are travelling to their away game against Gwangju in the K-League 1. That match is three days after this one.

A decent goal production from Sangju in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 10 league matches. Sangju's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Seongnam form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their K-League 1 travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Seongnam go into this game after a win, the home game against Jeonbuk Motors that ended 2-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pohang Steelers wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Seongnam playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were five Seongnam wins, three draws and five defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Seongnam manager N. Kim as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Daegu.

The visiting Seongnam have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 9 games. It's not easy to score on Seongnam as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
