National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Jeju United or Seoul E. that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Jeju United nor Seoul E. as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Jeju United form and stats
Action has already taken place for Jeju in Korean Cup as they have defeated Songwol to reach the 3rd Round. Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Jeju United have to build on here at Jeju World Cup Stadium in the K League 2.
Jeju United drew their last game, also a home match. Gyeongnam was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A strong away win before that one, visiting Asan Mugunghwa and winning 2-0.
Joo Min-Kyu felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Gyeongnam as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 45th minute.
Jeju are traveling soon after this match as the K League 2 match at Anyang awaits in four days.
The Jeju fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Jeju have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Seoul E. form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Changwon City in order to reach 3rd Round of Korean Cup. Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The seven points Seoul E. have gathered from their first three away trips in the K League 2 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Seoul E. are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Two travels in a row for Seoul, whose manager J. Chung could celebrate last time after the K League 2 win against Bucheon 1995. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Ansan Greeners.
What a finish in the last match, as Seoul E. came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Leandro Ribeiro's goal in the 89th minute.
A new game in only three days for Seoul, the K League 2 home match versus Suwon. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Seoul's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. 3 goals have been conceded by Seoul in these games.
