Busan Transportation form and stats

2-6-0 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for Busan Transportation so far this season. The home fans are hungry for more even though Transportation have been steadily collecting points here at Busan Gudeok Stadium through three straight draws.

Transportation are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 255 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Kim Min-Wu).

Transportation drew their last game, also a home match. Gimpo (placed 2nd) was the opponent, 0-0 the score.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Changwon City (0-1).

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 Busan Transportation have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost zero.

Transportation are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Busan Transportation have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Gangneung City have only collected 2 points from their away games in the National League, after 0-2-8 (10 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Gangneung City failed to get anything from their last game, a National League home match vs Changwon City (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-2.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Hwaseong.

We have checked recent matches where Gangneung City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were zero victories, one draw and one defeat.
