Hwaseong form and stats

Hwaseong are still undefeated on their travels in the National League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Hwaseong are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the game against Dangjin Citizen (placed 16th). Ji-Yong came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Dangjin Citizen last time out, making the manager Kang feel like a tactical genius.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Daejeon Korail.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Hwaseong in our archives, and the results are: one win for Hwaseong, four draws and zero defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Hwaseong manager Kang as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Gangwon.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Hwaseong has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
