K-League 1: Top level against subpar, at least according to the table. Suwon Bluewings - Seongnam. Home win as expected or a surprise result?
- Suwon Bluewings have the fewest matches under the total-line (7) in K-League 1
- Seongnam have the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in K-League 1
Little time to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a FA Cup fixture only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gangwon.

In their previous game, the manager K. Park led his Bluewings to a defeat in the FA Cup match away at Gangwon. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
