Seoul could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a FA Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Daegu. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Suwon Bluewings form and stats
When playing at home in the K-League 1, Suwon Bluewings have managed 5 wins, 6 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games. The Suwon Bluewings manager Lee might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Suwon Bluewings, who won 2-0 against Seongnam. Sweet to taste a league win after four games without one. Oh, a striker, was the best performer for the team in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.94 (out of 10). Oh scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Ahead of that match, Bluewings lost 2-3 at home to Jeonbuk Motors.This is expected to be a close game, with Suwon Bluewings perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Suwon Bluewings as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Suwon Bluewings has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 4.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bluewings as they have a new game in only three days, a K-League 1 match thankfully also at home. Daegu are visiting.
The Suwon Bluewings fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
Seoul form and stats
4-7-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Seoul in their K-League 1 matches away.

A quick return to home after this game, as Seoul are hosting Sangju Sangmu in the K-League 1 only three days away.
