Having a home game is relaxed and good for Suwon, but Pohang Steelers are fully intent and qualified to win this one. What happens?
- Suwon have the most matches over the total-line (6) in K-League 1
- Pohang Steelers have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Suwon nor Pohang Steelers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Suwon form and stats
Suwon's results here at Suwon Sports Complex in the K-League 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. Game days at Suwon Sports Complex have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Suwon as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Happy days for Suwon in their previous game, a fixture away at Sangju Sangmu (placed 9th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Manager Do-Kyun felt very clever after Lee scored the winning goal against Sangju Sangmu, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 15th minute. The attacking player Veldwijk was announced as "man of the match" for Suwon with a rating of 7.84/10. Veldwijk served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that game, the home loss against Ulsan with the scoreline 1-2.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Suwon Bluewings are coming to town in four days.
Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Suwon with 17 goals conceded in these matches. When Suwon hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Seongnam, Gangwon and Sangju Sangmu), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
