Gyeongnam form and stats

5-3-5 (win-draw-lost) are the K League 2 numbers at home for Gyeongnam so far this season.

The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Seoul E. in the K League 2 last time out and are looking for a win here. A goal frenzy last time out for Gyeongnam, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Seoul E.. Fun stuff to watch!

Heartbreak before that as Gyeongnam lost 0-1 at Daejeon Citizen's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Gyeongnam perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gyeongnam as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Gyeongnam has won four of these, drawn six and lost seven.

The Gyeongnam fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Jeonnam Dragons form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (22) in K League 2, on their K League 2 travels is 6 wins, 7 draws and 0 defeats. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Seoul E. game have they lost an away game, meaning Jeonnam has taken points from 13 away matches in a row.

There were no winners in Jeonnam Dragons's previous match, a K League 2 home game that ended 2-2 vs Sangju Sangmu (placed 1st). Drawing 2-2 against Sangju Sangmu after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager K. Jeon needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Seoul E. that ended 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Jeonnam Dragons in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Jeonnam Dragons, seven draws and three defeats.

Jeonnam are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Jeonnam are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
