Seoul form and stats
With {2 K-League 1 wins}, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Seoul, who have the fewest points (8) at home in K-League 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home K-League 1 games in a row without a win, the Seoul fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gwangju game long ago, can be stopped today.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Han-Been Yang not having conceded a league goal in 245 minutes.
The spoils were shared in Seoul's previous game, also at home. Visiting Ulsan (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. The goalie Han-been Yang was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.4 out of ten. Yang stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Pohang Steelers and winning 1-0.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 Seoul have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost five.
Seoul aren't scoring a lot here at Seoul World Cup Stadium in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Gwangju form and stats
There's been little loot from Gwangju's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the K-League 1. Gwangju only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Gwangju as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gangwon match.
Gwangju played 0-0 against Seongnam in their previous match. Eu-ddeum Lee was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.84. The defender Lee hit two key passes and won 4 of 6 duels.
That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Gangwon.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gwangju playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Gwangju wins, zero draws and three defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Gwangju now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A K-League 1 game at Jeonbuk Motors is waiting in only three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gwangju as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. Gwangju have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
