Season ticket holders at Seongnam Tancheon Sports Complex haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Seongnam languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Seoul will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Seongnam form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the K-League 1 this season. Seongnam, who have the fewest points (6) at home in K-League 1, have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Seongnam Tancheon Sports Complex. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Seongnam with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Sangju Sangmu game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Seongnam, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The fans are hoping that Seongnam will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the K-League 1 game against Gangwon. Preceding that match was the home game against Incheon United that was lost 0-6.
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.
Seongnam have scored 6 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Seongnam have conceded 16 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Seoul form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Seoul, who have the most conceded goals (37) in K-League 1, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Seoul's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Home advantage was not enough for Seoul in their previous game, as they lost their K-League 1-match, hosting Busan I'Park, 1-2. A 1-3 defeat away at Suwon Bluewings before that.
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 eight relevant matches. Results were two Seoul wins, three draws and three defeats.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Seoul, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Seongnam and Seoul have met before this season: Seongnam - Seoul 1-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Seongnam won four games, zero matches ended with a draw and Seoul has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourSeongnam missing players
