Insights:
  • Seongnam have the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in K-League 1

Seongnam form and stats

The story so far in the K-League 1 for Seongnam, who have the the worst goal difference (-5) at home in K-League 1, at their home stadium (Tancheon Sports Complex) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. The home stadium (Tancheon Sports Complex) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Seongnam it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Seongnam drew their last game, 2-2 away at Ulsan (placed 1st). Jamshid Iskandarov (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.8/10. Iskandarov scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 49 successful passes (of 55 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Jeonbuk Motors that was lost 1-5.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Seongnam have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost five.

The Seongnam fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Seongnam defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
