Gwangju form and stats

Gwangju, who have the most points (21) away in K League 2, have an excellent away record so far with 6-3-0 from 9 games.

Gwangju have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Gwangju play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Daejeon Citizen. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Suwon.

Gwangju are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games. Gwangju are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.
