Gyeongju HNP form and stats

Three National League home games done for Gyeongju HNP, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.

Gyeongju HNP drew their last game, also a home match. Cheonan City (placed 9th) was the opponent, 2-2 the score.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Siheung Citizen.

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 Gyeongju have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost zero.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Gyeongju HNP here at Gyeongju Citizen Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games).

Daejeon Korail form and stats

Daejeon Korail are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the National League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

182 minutes! That's how long the Daejeon Korail goalkeeper Hyeong-Min Park and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Daejeon's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Cheongju that finished 0-0.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Yangju Citizen.

We have checked recent matches where Daejeon Korail have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, two draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Daejeon Korail as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Daejeon have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road. More than 50 percent of these were conceded from the 60th minute and onwards in these in the last 30 minutes of matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the preceeding ten meetings): Gyeongju HNP won five games, three matches ended with a tie and Daejeon Korail got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
