Asan Mugunghwa form and stats

Asan Mugunghwa have collected 20 points from their K League 2 home games so far after 6-2-7. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Mugunghwa to get some points in this home game.

Mugunghwa are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 270 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Kim Kang-Guk).

The Mugunghwa fans got no joy from their last match, a K League 2 game also here at Yishunsin Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Ansan Greeners (placed 7th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at 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 ten games. Asan Mugunghwa has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.

Asan Mugunghwa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. 18 goals have been conceded.

Jeonnam's previous game was their home loss versus Bucheon 1995 (1-2).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Daejeon Citizen's place.

Jeonnam find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Jeonnam as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
