Asan Mugunghwa form and stats

Asan Mugunghwa have collected 17 points from their K League 2 home games so far after 5-2-5.

Happy days for Mugunghwa in their previous game, a K League 2 match away at Ansan Greeners (placed 8th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.

Ahead of that match, Mugunghwa lost 1-2 at home to Sangju Sangmu.

This is expected to be a close game, with Mugunghwa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Asan Mugunghwa as a small favourite), we find nine games. Asan Mugunghwa has won two of these, drawn three and lost four.

The Mugunghwa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.

Busan I'Park form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (40) in K League 2, on their K League 2 travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

An Byong-Jun was the last player to score for the away team. I'Park haven't scored a league goal in the last 229 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Busan I'Park in their previous game, as they lost their K League 2-match, hosting Sangju Sangmu, 0-6. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sangju Sangmu was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gyeongnam wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with I'Park playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were three Busan I'Park wins, three draws and seven defeats.

I'Park have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, I'Park have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
