Seoul E. form and stats

Seoul E.'s struggle is real here at Seoul Olympic Stadium with only 14 points collected from 15 K League 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-7. Seoul E. are slowly digging their own grave here at Seoul Olympic Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Ansan Greeners match.

A good away victory last time out for Seoul, who won 3-0 against Bucheon 1995 (placed 10th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Sangju Sangmu.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
