The season is still fairly new and the K-League 1 table has to be read with caution. So far Seoul find themselves in 7th position and Jeonbuk Motors are placed 1st.

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.

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.

The Seoul fans got no joy from their last match, a K-League 1 game also here at Seoul World Cup Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Seongnam (placed 3rd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Pohang Steelers and winning 2-1.

Early season league goal statistics from Seoul's 2 home games: 1 goal, 1 conceded.

Jeonbuk Motors form and stats

Things could have gone better for Jeonbuk Motors in their K-League 1 away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Jeonbuk Motors lost away at Gangwon (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Jeonbuk Motors secured a home win against Daegu with the score 2-0.

2 goals so far away for Jeonbuk Motors, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Seoul won one, Jeonbuk Motors won seven and two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
