Suwon vs Suwon Bluewings

High-flying Suwon entertain out-of-form Suwon Bluewings at the Suwon Sports Complex in a bottom-half K League 1 fixture.

Suwon have gone into overdrive following an underwhelming run of six winless K League 1 outings (D2, L4), winning their last two league matches by an aggregate score of 3-1. Both those triumphs have come by a narrow one-goal margin, which has been the case in four of their five top-flight wins this term. Though the ‘Dashers’ have proved they can thrive in keenly-contested battles, conceding first could cost them dearly. Indeed, they’ve ended up on the losing side in 67% of their K League 1 games when falling behind this term (W1, D2, L6). But after holding Bluewings goalless in both previous home league H2Hs (W1, D1), they should be safe and sound in this regard.

In the meantime, Suwon Bluewings have replaced a brace of top-flight draws with back-to-back defeats, suggesting the travelling fans could be in for another long weekend. Adding to this sentiment, the visitors have amassed a league joint-low four points away from home this term. Indeed, they are one of only two sides yet to pick up a single away win thus far (D4, L4). That’s mainly thanks to their uneventful frontline that has netted the division’s low five goals on the road this season, at an average of 0.62 per match. So it comes as no surprise that they’ve conceded the opening goal on seven of their eight K League 1 travels this term (D3, L4).
