Kim Cheon Sangmu Aims to Regain Top Spot in Two Consecutive Away Matches

(Daily Daegu Gyeongbuk News=Reporter Hwang Ji-hyeon) Sangmu Kim Cheon will hunt for points in Ansan on May 3 and Seongnam on the 7th.

The Kim Cheon Sangmu Professional Soccer Team will play an away match against Ansan Greeners in the ‘Hana One Q K League 2 2023’ 11R on May 3 at 7:30 pm at Ansan Was Stadium. Four days later, at 6:30 pm, at Tancheon Sports Complex, Seongnam FC and ‘Hanawon Q K League 2 2023’ 12R away match will be played.

As Kimcheon will play two matches in five days, physical strength and mental strength are expected to determine victory. This season, Gimcheon recorded 4 wins and 1 loss in their 5 away matches. With an away win rate of 80%, they are in second place after Gimpo in the K-League 2. Kim Cheon, who collected 12 points only in away matches, is determined to win in Ansan and Seongnam.

Gimcheon has faced Ansan and Seongnam in K League 2 in 2021 and K League 1 in 2022, respectively. Kim Cheon leads all opponents. Ansan recorded 3 wins and 1 draw, and Seongnam recorded 2 wins and 2 draws. What is noteworthy is that they have never lost against Ansan and Seongnam.

Gimcheon, who ended their win streak with a loss in the previous home game against Gimpo, must secure victory points in Ansan and Seongnam expeditions in order to lay the foundation for a leap forward.

Ansan and Seongnam are strong teams at home, so it will not be an easy game. This season, Ansan is recording 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 4 matches at home, while Seongnam is recording 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 5 matches. Ansan has a home win rate of 63.5% compared to an away win rate of 20%, and Seongnam also has a home win rate of 70% compared to an away win rate of 37.5%. In the head-to-head match between Kimcheon, who is strong on the road, and Ansan and Seongnam, who are strong at home, attention is focusing on whether Kimcheon will be able to win.

Coach Seong Han-soo said, “The finish in the previous game was disappointing. I will prepare the players more so that they can do well in the offensive finishing part. I will do my best to repay the support of the fans with the fighting power of the players inside the stadium.”
