Gyeongnam form and stats

When playing at home in the K League 2, Gyeongnam have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 17 games.

Ko Kyung-Min was the last player to score a league goal for Gyeongnam and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Gyeongnam haven't scored in 239 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Gyeongnam will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the K League 2 game against Busan I'Park (placed 5th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Ansan Greeners that was lost 0-2.

The Gyeongnam fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 17 matches. Gyeongnam's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 24 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
