Gyeongnam form and stats

5-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the K League 2 numbers at home for Gyeongnam so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at Changwon Football Center after three straight home wins.

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 Daejeon Citizen (placed 2nd).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Busan I'Park in a game that was won 1-0.

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.

Gyeongnam are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Gyeongnam's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

A 0-1 loss hosting Anyang before that.

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