This is a vital face-off in the "wrong" end of the K-League 1, with both Seoul and Seongnam experiencing more angst than bliss. This match is a typical "six-pointer" with the host team at 9th and the visiting team in 11th position.
- Seoul have the fewest points (17) at home in K-League 1
- Seongnam have the fewest scored goals (30) in K-League 1
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Seoul and Seongnam.
Seoul form and stats
Seoul's results here at Seoul Olympic Stadium in the K-League 1 have been very modest with 4 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats. Seoul have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Seoul enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Gwangju's place. The match ended 4-3 with Aleksandar Paločević, Kang Seong-jin and Yo-han Go scoring. A very satisfying win for Seoul against Gwangju last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-3. The win was secured through Yo-han Go's goal in the 88th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Seoul, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Gwangju. Fun stuff to watch! Yo-han Go (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.41/10. Go scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and had 38 successful passes (of 47 total).
Prior to that, an away loss at Incheon United.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 ten games. Seoul has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.
Seoul are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 17 games. 22 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Seongnam form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Seongnam so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-8 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Seongnam are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Pohang Steelers.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Seongnam playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were six Seongnam wins, three draws and five defeats.
