Gwangju form and stats

Gwangju have been very solid at home in the K League 2 so far, with 24 points collected from 9 matches (8-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table.

The Gwangju supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Gwangju World Cup Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Asan Mugunghwa (placed 5th).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Busan I'Park and winning 3-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gwangju have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Gwangju are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Gwangju have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
