Gangneung City form and stats

When playing at home in the National League, Gangneung City have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 12 games. When Gangneung City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Dangjin Citizen, Daejeon Korail, Gangneung City, Ulsan Citize and Cheongju), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

Stress levels are on the rise for Gangneung's attacking players as they have now played 270 minutes without scoring in a league game. Seung-Woo was their last goal scorer.

The regulars are hoping that Gangneung City will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Changwon City (placed 1st).

Before that, Gangneung City drew at home versus Gimhae City.

17 goals have been conceded.

Mokpo City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mokpo City so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-9 (win-draw-lose).

The Mokpo City goalkeeper Hwi-Soo Lee is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 189 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Mokpo play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Ulsan Citize (placed 15th).

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Pocheon.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mokpo City as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Mokpo have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
