2nd position in the K-League 1 table for Seoul so far this season, a tip-top achievement. The home team ticketholders pray for more points as 7th-placed Gwangju visit Seoul World Cup Stadium.
- Seoul have the most scored goals in the second half (14) in K-League 1
- Gwangju have the most clean sheets (5) in K-League 1
It's no vacation for neither Seoul nor Gwangju as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Seoul form and stats
The story so far in the K-League 1 for Seoul at their home stadium (Seoul World Cup Stadium) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Seoul's last game was hosting Gwangju (placed 7th) and winning 1-0.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Jeonbuk Motors.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 18 games. Seoul has won 7 of these, drawn 7 and lost 4.
Early season league goal statistics from Seoul's 5 home games: {10 goals}, 5 conceded.
Gwangju form and stats
As the visiting team in K-League 1 matches, Gwangju have produced an overall stat of 2-0-3 so far. Gwangju has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Gwangju, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Seoul (placed 2nd).
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Daejeon Citizen.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 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Gwangju wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
A tale of few goals? 9 of this club's latest 12 league fixtures have had two goals or less.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Gwangju have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. Gwangju's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Seoul have not lost in the last 8 matches (6-2-0) versus Gwangju.The latest head-to-head meeting ended Gwangju - Seoul 0-2, earlier this season.
