It's early days in the K League 2 and both Daejeon Citizen and Gyeongnam are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Daejeon Citizen have lost all their home matches so far.
- Gyeongnam is in the worst form (1-1-3)
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Daejeon Citizen form and stats
Daejeon Citizen are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two K League 2 games here at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Daejeon, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
It's back home for Daejeon, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Jeonnam Dragons away with the result 2-1. Lee Ji-Sol found the net in that victory. Before that match, a FA Cup win away at Paju Citizen (after extra-time).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Daejeon as they have a new game in only three days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Suwon Bluewings are visiting.
Daejeon Citizen has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Gyeongnam form and stats
Things could have gone better for Gyeongnam in their K League 2 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
There might be some fixture complaints from Gyeongnam as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the K League 2 match against Asan Mugunghwa (1-2). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Daejeon Korail.
A new game in only three days for Gyeongnam, the FA Cup home match versus Mokpo City. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Gyeongnam have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. Gyeongnam have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
