Suwon Bluewings vs Seoul

Suwon World Cup Stadium is the venue as Suwon Bluewings and Seoul go head-to-head in high-stakes K League 1 match-up.

Despite going unbeaten in four K League 1 fixtures since a 3-0 downing away to Daegu in early May, these are tumultuous times for Suwon. The hosts have gone from back-to-back league victories to drawing their last two games, both of which featured under 2.5 total goals. Against this backdrop, the Suwon World Cup Stadium crowd could be in for a treat. Indeed, four of Suwon’s last five top-flight home meetings with Seoul have seen both teams score in matches garnering 3+ total goals (W1, D1, L3). Conceding first would significantly derail Suwon’s hopes of getting back to winning ways. The ‘White and Reds’ have failed to win any of their four home league outings in which they shipped the opener this term (D2, L2).

On the other hand, Seoul have suffered a drastic dip in form in the build-up to this clash. After winning back-to-back K League 1 games in early May, the visitors have gone winless in the last three (D1, L2), failing to score in both defeats. What’s more, Seoul will take the field with their confidence crushed by an underwhelming run of seven winless away league fixtures (D4, L3). Much of Seoul’s away problems have emanated from their uneventful performances in front of goal. An Ik-soo’s men have drawn a blank on three of their last six K League 1 travels, scoring precisely once on the other three.
