Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Gyeongnam & Gyeongju HNP face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Korean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Gyeongnam form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Korean Cup for Gyeongnam, as the manager Seol led his troops to eliminate Jungnang Chorus Mustang, and reach the 3rd Round. Gyeongnam was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Korean Cup.Gyeongnam's struggle is real here at Jinju Stadium with only 6 points collected from 6 K League 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-4.
Gyeongnam's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Seoul E.. The home side are looking to build on that result.
Preceding that match was the home K League 2 game against Bucheon 1995 that was lost 2-3.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 15 games. Gyeongnam has won five of these, drawn four and lost six.
A decent goal production from Gyeongnam in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Gyeongju HNP form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Together in order to reach 3rd round of Korean Cup. Gyeongju HNP's mission in Korean Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.The story so far for the visiting team on their K2-League travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Gyeongju play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Ulsan Citize. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Seo when Taek-Hoon scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Pocheon.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Gyeongju HNP in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Gyeongju HNP, four draws and three defeats.
After this away game Gyeongju HNP return home for a K2-League game against Gangneung City. That game is only four sleeps after this.
It's early days yet, but Gyeongju HNP has scored 8 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (4 games).
