An important duel in the bottom section of the K League 2, with both Gyeongnam and Bucheon 1995 experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 9th place.

Insights:
  • Gyeongnam is in the worst form (1-1-4)
  • Bucheon 1995 have the fewest scored goals (3) in K League 2

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Gyeongnam form and stats

Gyeongnam have played three K League 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Gyeongnam to get some points in this home game.

Gyeongnam's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Busan I'Park (placed 5th). Ahead of that match, Gyeongnam won a home game hosting Mokpo City (after extra-time) (3-1).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Gyeongnam here at Changwon Football Center in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Gyeongnam's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Bucheon 1995 form and stats

Bucheon 1995, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in K League 2, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the K League 2, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Recent form does not give Bucheon 1995 much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Gyeongnam will be a tough nut to crack. Bucheon 1995 seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Bucheon have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 334 minutes ago. Park Chang-Jun was the goal scorer.

Bucheon 1995 failed to get anything from their last game, a K League 2 home match vs Ansan Greeners (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-1. A 1-1 draw at Gimhae City (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties)'s stadium before that.

Goals are few and far between in Bucheon's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. Bucheon 1995's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - two - two (Gyeongnam wins - draws - Bucheon 1995 wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
