This game involves two contenders residing in the cellar of the National League, Cheonan City having 14th position and Mokpo City sitting at 15th. A decent chance for one of the teams to boost their situation.

Insights:
  • Cheonan City have the fewest matches over the total-line (3) in National League
  • Mokpo City have the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in National League

Not much time to rest for the hosts, as they had a National League fixture only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Cheongju, so at least Cheonan are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cheonan City form and stats

Cheonan City's struggle is real here at Chonan Soccer Center Main Stadium with only 7 points collected from 10 National League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-5.

Cheonan City are returning here after visiting Cheongju and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Mota scored the goal(s). The victory against Cheongju came after Mota's winning goal. The Cheonan City manager Jo was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 36th minute.

Heartbreak before that as Cheonan lost 0-2 at Changwon City's place.

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 Cheonan City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

It should be taken into account that a peek at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Cheonan aren't scoring a lot here at Chonan Soccer Center Main Stadium in the league, with only 9 goals from 10 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cheonan City's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times.

Mokpo City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mokpo City so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-7 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Mokpo City who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Gyeongju HNP was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Mokpo City aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 248 league minutes without a goal. Won-Min was the last player to find the net.

Mokpo might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Siheung Citizen proved too strong as Mokpo City slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Mokpo International Football Center Main (Grass Ground A) (Mokpo).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Paju Citizen wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Mokpo City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mokpo City as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mokpo City have conceded 19 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Mokpo City have not lost in the last 6 matches (2-4-0) facing Cheonan.

These two sides met each other earlier this season: Mokpo City - Cheonan City 0-0.
