Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Seongnam & Busan I'Park face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Korean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Seongnam nor Busan I'Park 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.
Seongnam form and stats
Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.Seongnam have played 5 K-League Classic games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The Seongnam goalkeeper Jong-Hyeok Jeon is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 243 minutes without conceding a goal in the K-League Classic.
A 0-0 draw away in the K-League Classic before that, with Daegu the opponent.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Seongnam as they are travelling to their away game against Jeonbuk Motors in the K-League Classic. That match is four days after this one.
The Seongnam fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Defensively Seongnam have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Busan I'Park form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Jeonju in order to reach 3rd round of Korean Cup. Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Things could have gone better for Busan I'Park in their K League 2 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. I'Park has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Ansan Greeners.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the I'Park manager R. Peres as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Gyeongnam.
Busan I'Park have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. I'Park have conceded 7 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Seongnam, five draws and two wins for Busan I'Park. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
