The visiting Sangju Sangmu side should be favourites in this visit to Seongnam, as the away team holds a 3 point advantage from their seven league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Seongnam and Sangju Sangmu.
Seongnam form and stats
Three K-League 1 home games done for Seongnam, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Seongnam has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. Kim and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Seongnam, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 213 minutes without scoring a league goal. Yang Dong-Hyen was the last player to find the net.
Seongnam's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Suwon Bluewings (placed 8th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ulsan (0-1).
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 seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost three.
The lack of attacking qualities in Seongnam means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 4 goals have been conceded.
Sangju Sangmu form and stats
The K-League 1 season is young and Sangju Sangmu have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far. Two points from the last two away games for Sangju, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Sangju go into this game after a win, the home game against Seoul that ended 1-0. Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Pohang Steelers.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Sangju in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Sangju Sangmu, two draws and three defeats.
The attacking power of Sangju when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Sangju manager T. Kim has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Seongnam four wins, four draws and Sangju Sangmu two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
