Game week two of the K-League Classic season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Seongnam - Incheon United preview:
Seongnam and Incheon United should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Seongnam form and stats
Happy days for Seongnam in their previous game, a K-League Classic match away at Gwangju (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Before that, Seongnam had a home game versus Jeju United which ended with a victory 3-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Seongnam perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Seongnam as a small favourite), we find nine games. Seongnam has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.
Last season, Seongnam's league statistics were 10 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses, resulting in a 9th position in the K League 2. Over these 33 matches they scored 25 goals and conceded 36. Playing at home last season Seongnam managed 6-5-5 (win-draw-lost) with 13 goals and 13 conceded.
Incheon United form and stats
L. Kehinde was the last player to score for the away team. Incheon United haven't scored a league goal in the last 181 minutes. 281 minutes! That's how long the Incheon goalkeeper San Jeong and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Incheon's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Daegu that finished 0-0. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Gyeongnam.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Incheon United playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Incheon United wins, four draws and two defeats.
Let's have a look at how Incheon United performed last season in the K-League Classic: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 11 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 29 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 8 with 17/26 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Seongnam, four draws and two wins for Incheon United. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
