Suwon Bluewings vs Jeonbuk Motors 15/08/20

15 August 2020

Suwon Bluewings welcome Jeonbuk Motors to the Suwon World Cup Stadium, hoping to bring a six-game losing run in home K League 1 H2Hs to a halt (D2, L4).

A goalless away draw with Ulsan last time out now means all four of Suwon’s previous league fixtures have featured under 1.5 goals (W1, D1, L2). A 1-0 full-time score has highlighted Suwon’s season so far, with seven of their ten K League 1 results (wins/losses) so far yielding that exact scoreline. A genuine lack of firepower has seen the ‘Dashers’ draw a blank in three of their last four home league outings (D1, L3), which has been true in all three of their previous top-flight home H2Hs. Yet, if they do find the back of the net here, Kim Do-Kyun’s men are likely to do it before the break. Five of the eight league home goals they’ve netted so far arrived in the first half of play (62.5%).

As for the visitors, they go into this encounter on a run of three consecutive league victories, all of which saw them keep a first-half clean sheet and score over 1.5 goals at full-time. Yet, against the backdrop of solid first-half performances lately, 66.67% (4) of Jeonbuk’s six K League 1 away goals conceded arrived before the halftime break. The ‘clean-sheet’ theme remains significant, though, in the context of Jeonbuk’s results on the road this term. Just one of their eight top-flight trips has ended in a draw (W5, L2), with four of those seven results seeing the winner on the day preserve a blank sheet. In turn, all three of their previous league wins at the venue were ‘to nil.’
