Busan Transportation form and stats

Busan Transportation have played 13 National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-6-3 (wins-draws-losses).

It's back home for Transportation, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Daejeon Korail away with the result 3-0. Jin-Young, Min-Woo and Young-Jun found the net in that victory. What a relief, as that was the first league win after failing to win seven consecutive games. Busan Transportation decided the match against Daejeon Korail in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.

Before that, Transportation played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Cheonan City.

Low on goals? In this team's last 14 league matches, 11 have seen zero, one or two goals.

Busan Transportation has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. On the other hand, Transportation have conceded 15 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Dangjin Citizen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dangjin Citizen so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-11 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Dangjin Citizen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road.

The club members enjoyed Dangjin Citizen's previous fixture versus Mokpo City (placed 15th), a 3-1 win played at home. That victory felt nice as this side had gone five league rounds without victory. Which player has bagged at least one goal five games in a row for the away side? The correct answer is Jae-Min and that is quite the feat!

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Changwon City's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dangjin playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

Take note that 9 of this side's 11 most recent league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dangjin Citizen as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Dangjin Citizen have conceded 22 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Interestingly enough, the last time Dangjin Citizen kept a "clean sheet" was also versus this opponent, 14 league matches ago (Dangjin - Busan Transportation 0-0).
