National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Seongnam or Asan Mugunghwa that keep their silverware dream alive.
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.
Seongnam form and stats
Last season, Seongnam's Korean Cup journey ended in the 4th round.Overall K-League Classic stats at home this season for Seongnam are 0-1-3 (wins-draw-losses). Game days at Seongnam Tancheon Sports Complex have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Seongnam as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Seongnam travelled for their previous game, a trip to Busan I'Park that ended 1-1. Preceding that match was the home K-League Classic game against Sangju Sangmu that was lost 0-1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Seongnam, as the K-League Classic home game vs Pohang Steelers is only four days away.

Asan Mugunghwa form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Jeonju in order to reach 3rd Round of Korean Cup. Mugunghwa's mission in Korean Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The visitors are W0-D4-L0 on the road this term. That's in the K League 2. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Mugunghwa, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Jeonnam Dragons game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Mugunghwa are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Ansan Greeners. The game before that, in the K League 2, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Jeju United.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gyeongnam in just four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Mugunghwa have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. Mugunghwa have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
