- Gwangju have the fewest clean sheets (6) in K-League 1
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Suwon form and stats
The story so far in the K-League 1 for Suwon at their home stadium (Suwon World Cup Stadium) is 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Kim Young-Kwang (own goal) was the last player to find the net.
The Suwon fans got no joy from their last match, a K-League 1 game also here at Suwon World Cup Stadium: A 0-3 defeat against Ulsan (placed 1st). Suwon's goalkeeper Hyeon Yu was extremely busy against Ulsan, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Midfield player Dong-ho Jeong got a match rating of 7.35 in that game, the max score being 10. Jeong dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, Suwon played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Daegu.This is expected to be a close game, with Suwon perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Suwon as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Suwon has won six of these, drawn five and lost four.
The Suwon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. On the other hand, Suwon have conceded 21 goals.
Gwangju form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gwangju so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-11 (win-draw-lose). With the Gwangju losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Gwangju play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Gangwon (placed 8th). Bo-sang Yun was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.15. The agile goalkeeper Yun stopped the opponent with five saves.
A loss against Pohang Steelers was the result prior to that, in a home game.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gwangju playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were four Gwangju wins, zero draws and three defeats.
The visitors have scored 14 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Gwangju rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.
