Seoul form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Seoul's two home games in the K-League 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

In their previous game, the manager Ahn led his Seoul to a defeat away at Daejeon Citizen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Midfield player Na got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, the max score being 10. Na scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Jeju United with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Seoul perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Seoul as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Seoul has won 5 of these, drawn 7 and lost 5.

Seoul are traveling soon after this match as the FA Cup match at Gimpo awaits in four days.
