Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Cheonan City in 7th and Paju Citizen in 9th place.
- Cheonan City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Paju Citizen have the most conceded goals (12) in National League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cheonan City form and stats
2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Cheonan City have to build on here at Cheonan Baekseok Stadium in the National League. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cheonan, their manager Kim Tae-Young and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Cheonan fans got no joy from their last match, a National League game also here at Cheonan Baekseok Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Gimpo (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Daejeon Korail that finished 1-1.
The Cheonan City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. On the other hand, Cheonan have conceded 5 goals.
Paju Citizen form and stats
As the visiting team in National League matches, Paju Citizen, who have the most conceded goals (12) in National League, have produced an overall stat of 1-2-1 so far.
Citizen's last game was the home draw against Daejeon Korail (0-0). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gyeongju HNP wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
Citizen find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, Citizen rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 6 goals from these away matches.
