In this K League 2 fixture, Cheongju and Paju Citizen sit in the lower reaches of the table, just a point apart, and both still need points to pull away from the danger zone. Cheongju have just lost two in a row, but before that they won three straight with scores of 1-0, 3-2 and 3-1, a spell in which their attack was firing on all cylinders. Paju Citizen, meanwhile, have not won in 3 matches, but they have drawn as many as 3 of their last 5, and the 0-0, 1-1 and 1-1 scorelines show they are solid and refuse to open up and trade blows. The pattern over the last 10 matches shows Cheongju clearly dominate possession (55.5% against 43.3%) and edge the shots on target, while Paju Citizen are comfortable sitting back and waiting to counter. Cheongju's first halves at home have produced as many as 9 goals in 11 matches, but Paju Citizen's away first halves have yielded only 4 goals in 11 matches. The game is likely to open up in the first half with the hosts pressing, but in the second half both sides should have more chances to trade blows, because the closing stages are when both teams score and concede the most.
