National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Jeonnam Dragons or Busan Transportation that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Jeonnam and Busan Transportation.
Jeonnam Dragons form and stats
2 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Jeonnam Dragons have to build on here at Gwangyang Stadium in the K League 2.
The Jeonnam Dragons crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Ansan Greeners here at Gwangyang Stadium.
Previous to that game, a K League 2 home match hosting Anyang in a game that was won 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Jeonnam have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
There will be little rest for Jeonnam Dragons after this match as they are travelling to Asan Mugunghwa for a K League 2 game in only four days.
9 goals have been conceded.
Busan Transportation form and stats
Transportation was sent out of Korean Cup in the 8th finals last season.Busan Transportation are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the K2-League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
Busan Transportation's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Pocheon that finished 1-1. As mentioned above, Transportation drew the match against Pocheon. Manager Kim brought on Geon-Hyeok to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
A 0-0 draw at Dangjin Citizen's stadium before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Busan Transportation manager Kim as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ulsan Citize.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
