Seoul E. form and stats

5 victories, 8 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Seoul E. have to build on here at London Stadium in the K League 2. Seoul are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

The home team returns to London Stadium after drawing with Ansan Greeners (placed 8th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Asan Mugunghwa.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Seoul E. have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 7 and lost 4.

Lots of goals and action? Nobody knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league matches with this team has contained at least three goals.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Seoul E., as the K League 2 home game vs Anyang is only four days away.

A decent goal production from Seoul in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 16 league matches. On the other hand, Seoul E. have conceded 20 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Gyeongnam form and stats

As the visiting team in K League 2 matches, Gyeongnam have produced an overall stat of 5-5-7 so far. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Gyeongnam are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

The manager Seol was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Changwon Football Center. Gyeongnam suffered a 0-3 loss to Bucheon 1995 (placed 3rd).

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Gimpo.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gyeongnam playing away and similar expectations, we found 19 relevant matches. Results were 4 Gyeongnam wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats.

Observe that 9 of this club's 11 latest league games have ended with three goals or more.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
