Match week two of the National League season and the participants have done their adjustments after the first fixture. Here's our Gimhae City - Paju Citizen pre-match guide:

Gimhae City form and stats

The previous season, Gimhae City's league stats were 12 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses, producing 5th spot in the National League. In these 28 matches they scored 39 goals and gave away 35. Appearing as the home team in the previous season Gimhae City delivered 7-4-3 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 17 conceded.

A strong away win for Gimhae City against Hwaseong the last match, as Eun-Kyu, Ki-Dong and Rajković were on target.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Gimpo that ended 1-1.

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 Gimhae have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Gimhae City as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Pukyeong National Uni. are visiting.

Paju Citizen form and stats

In total they scored 32 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 7 and lost 3 with 20/21 goals scored/conceded. One match played away so far in the National League for Paju Citizen and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses from 14 games.

Paju Citizen has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Dangjin Citizen for a 1-1 draw.

A new game in only four days for Citizen, the FA Cup home match versus Sangju Sangmu. Busy days.

Paju Citizen have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
