Hwaseong form and stats

The season before, Hwaseong's league stats were 8 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses, ending with 12th spot in the National League. From these 28 matches they scored 29 goals and gave away 34. Playing as the host team in the previous season Hwaseong produced 7-2-5 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 15 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hwaseong perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hwaseong as a small favourite), we find six games. Hwaseong has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.
