Changwon City form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Changwon City, who have the most conceded goals (29) in K2-League, have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses so far from their games here at Changwon Football Center. With Changwon City having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Choi Kyeong-Don.

The Changwon City crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Mokpo City here at Changwon Football Center in a K2-League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cheonan City (0-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Changwon City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Changwon City as a small favourite), we find one game. Changwon City has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Changwon City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 10 goals in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

Mokpo City form and stats

Mokpo City play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Changwon City. A 0-1 defeat away at Gangneung City before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mokpo City playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Mokpo City win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Mokpo City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games. In the opposite end, Mokpo City have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
