The South Korean K League 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Jeonbuk Motors and Suwon FC square off at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Tuesday. Kim Eun-Jung’s men are one of just two sides without an away win in the league this season and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Jeonbuk Motors maintained their blistering run of results last Friday when they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Gangwon FC at the Chuncheon Songam Stadium.
Gus Poyet’s side have won three straight matches and are unbeaten in 16 consecutive games across all competitions, claiming 12 wins and four draws since March’s 3-2 defeat against Sydney FC in the AFC Champions League.
With 38 points from 18 matches, Jeonbuk currently lead the way at the top of the K League 1 standings, four points above second-placed Daejeon Hana Citizen.
In stark contrast, Suwon FC continue to struggle for results at the opposite end of the table as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against FC Anyang last Saturday.
Jung’s men have failed to taste victory in four straight games (2L 2D) and have managed just one win from their last seven outings across all competitions since May 10.
Suwon have picked up just 16 points from 18 K League 1 matches to sit 11th in the league standings, only above rock-bottom Daegu FC.
