The 2022 South Korean K league 1 is well underway and on the 17th of June we have a meeting between Gimcheon Sangmu and Suwon FC.
The game will be played at the Gimcheon Stadium and the hosts begin this round of fixtures in 9th place on 17 points while the visitors are in 11th place on 12 points.
Gimcheon Sangmu come into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw at Seoul last time out in the K League 1.
Gimcheon Sangmu were twice behind in the match but fought back on both occasions to equalise, with their second goal coming in the 90th minute of the game.
Despite picking up a decent point against a team currently above them in the table, Gimcheon Sangmu have been struggling to win games. They have failed to win any of their 5 most recent matches, all of which have been in the K League 1.
In addition to the draw in Seoul, Gimcheon Sangmu have picked up a point at home against Daegu plus lost to Jeju United and Suwon FC away. There was also a home defeat at the hands of Ulsan.
Trends show in their last 7 games in K League 1, Gimcheon Sangmu have a poor record of just 1 win. However, in their last 6 home games in K League 1, Gimcheon Sangmu have been undefeated on 5 occasions.
Suwon FC make the trip to the Gimcheon Stadium having previously lost 2-1 at home against Ulsan. Suwon FC took the league just before halftime but conceded 2 goals in the second half to lose the match, with the winner coming in the 60th minute.
That result means Suwon FC have lost 4 of their last 5 games, all of which have been in the K League 1. They picked up just 1 win from their last 10 matches in all competitions, with the victory coming at home against Gimcheon Sangmu in April.
Away form in the league shows Suwon FC have recorded only 1 win from their last 13 fixtures on the road. They have conceded 2 or more goals in each of their 3 most recent away K League 1 games and kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 10 away league matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Gimcheon Sangmu will be looking to striker Cho Gue-Sung for their goals and he has netted 10 times this season. Only one other player has scored more than a single goal.
Suwon FC have shared their goals among the forwards but Lee Seung-Woo is the top scorer with 5, while Kim Hyun and Kim Seung-Joon both have 3 goals to their name.
We expect to see goals in this game, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in total. Gimcheon Sangmu have been tough to beat at home of late and could come out on top, winning the match by a single goal.
