Sangju Sangmu form and stats

1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sangju Sangmu in their K-League 1 matches away.

Sangju have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Chang-Geun Lee. It's been 192 minutes since they last conceded in K-League 1.

Sangju play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Seongnam (placed 9th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Seoul.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager T. Kim when Moon Chang-Jin scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Moon Chang-Jin scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time to defeat Seongnam.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sangju Sangmu playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Sangju wins, two draws and three defeats.

Sangju has another fixture away, a FA Cup game, against Ulsan Citize in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The attacking power of Sangju Sangmu when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Sangju Sangmu have conceded 6 goals in these games.
