Cheonan City form and stats

Disaster struck Cheonan City last season as they could not defend their status as a K2-League team. With 8 defeats from 30 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Cheonan City are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D7 L5.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cheonan have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 4.

There will be little rest for Cheonan City after this match as they are travelling to Gimpo for a K League 2 game in only four days.
