Busan Transportation form and stats

Busan Transportation have played three National League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

A nice win for Busan Transportation last time playing, versus Siheung Citizen. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after going winless in six consecutive games.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gimhae City (1-2).

Busan Transportation has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: {1 goals} from 3 games. 4 goals have been conceded.
