K League 1 Preview: Seoul FC Struggling to Find Former Dominance, Suwon FC Aims for a Return to Form

On the evening of June 22nd at 7 PM, K League 1’s 18th round will see Seoul FC host Suwon FC.

Seoul FC currently holds a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, sitting in 9th place with 18 points. They trail the playoff zone by 4 points. With the season only halfway through, the former K League 1 champions’ performance is far from satisfactory, and they need to work hard in the second half of the season to regain their title race position.

In their 8 home matches this season, Seoul FC has managed just 2 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses, ranking last in home points. Despite scoring 13 goals (indicating decent attacking ability), they have also conceded 13 goals, highlighting defensive weaknesses as a key reason for their subpar league standing.

The team has now drawn their last 5 matches, an awkward streak that has dampened player morale. A victory is urgently needed to break this deadlock.

Suwon FC, on the other hand, stands at 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses, amassing 27 points and sitting in 5th place. They hold a 7-point lead over 7th-placed Incheon United, giving them a solid chance to secure a playoff spot if they avoid major slip-ups.

In their 8 away fixtures, Suwon FC has recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, placing 5th in away points with 11. Their 9 goals scored show somewhat tepid attacking output, while conceding 12 goals reveals vulnerabilities in their defense. This match requires extra focus on defense to prevent unexpected defeats.

After a 1-3 loss to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, ending a two-match winning streak, Suwon FC’s morale took a hit. Playing away once again, they will be seeking a victory to regain momentum.

In their last 10 encounters, Seoul FC has won 7, drawn 2, and lost only 1 against Suwon FC, making them a bogey team. However, given the contrasting forms of both teams this season, with Seoul FC struggling and Suwon FC in better shape, the visitors have a golden opportunity to turn the tide.
