Very important shoot-out in the "wrong" end of the K-League 1, with both Seongnam and Seoul enduring more stress than happiness. This game is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team at 11th and the away side in 12th position.
- Seongnam have the fewest scored goals (22) in K-League 1
- Seoul is in the worst form (0-1-5)
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Seongnam form and stats
4-3-6 (win-draw-lost) are the K-League 1 numbers at home for Seongnam, who have the fewest scored goals (22) in K-League 1, so far this season. Seongnam have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The spoils were shared in Seongnam's previous game, also at home. Visiting Daegu (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Defender Richard Windbichler got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.74/10. Windbichler won 4 of 7 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Daegu (1-3).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 eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost six.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Seongnam here at Tancheon Sports Complex in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 13 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Seongnam have conceded 16 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Seoul form and stats
There's been little loot from Seoul's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the K-League 1. Seoul only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Seoul as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Pohang Steelers match.
The manager J. Park was unhappy after their last game, a K-League 1 match played at their home ground Seoul World Cup Stadium. Seoul suffered a 3-4 loss to Jeonbuk Motors (placed 2nd). Osmar Barba, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.22. Barba scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels. A crazy, crazy fixture with masses of goals last time out for Seoul, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fixture, will this match be as refreshing? Late heartbreak for Seoul in the Jeonbuk Motors match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Jeju United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Seoul playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were three Seoul wins, five draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Seoul as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Seoul have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
