National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Seoul E. or Suwon that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Seoul E. nor Suwon 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.
Seoul E. form and stats
Seoul E. have not come this way in the Korean Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Bucheon 1995. Last season, Seoul's Korean Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.Seoul E. have played three K League 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
A nice win for Seoul E. last time playing, versus Ansan Greeners. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-1 with Lee, de Oliveira, Yu and Lee scoring for the victors.
Heartbreak before that as Seoul E. lost 0-1 at Busan I'Park's place.Seoul E. are traveling soon after this match as the K League 2 match at Chungnam Asan awaits in three days.

Suwon was sent out of Korean Cup in the 3rd round last season.The K-League Classic season is young and Suwon have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
Impressive finishing from Lee, Yoon, Murilo and Veldwijk (2) secured the home win 5-3 against Daejeon Citizen in their previous game.
