Incheon United look to do a 2021 treble over visitors Seongnam FC on Sunday

Incheon United come into this Sundays game looking to reignight their top half hopes, but come into this game on the back of two narrow defeats. Whilst visitors Seongnam FC may have drawn their last two games they're winless in six. Incheon will start as favorites, however Seongnam maybe looking to capitalize in a drop in confidence from the hosts this Sunday afternoon.

Recent Form

Starting with the hosts Incheon United, their recent form as been a little mixed with two wins and three defeats. They lost to Jeju United last weekend thanks to a cruel injury time winner, and league leaders Ulsan the weekend before that. However they Daegu two-nil after edging past Sundays visitors Seongnam FC one-nil basically a month ago.

Moving over to the visitors Seongnam FC who are having a disappointing summer so far, and are currently on a six game winless run. They have also lost four of their last five on the road. They were however able to hold FC Seoul last weekend to a one-all draw, and Daegu FC prior to take to a goalless draw.

What to Watch

Incheon United this season have been more confident in front of goal in comparison to previous seasons. That is partly due to star striker Stefan Mugosa, who has nine goals in fifteen appearances this season. Midfielders Elias Aguilar as well as Brazilian Negueba have been key creators, with Kim Hyun and Song Si-woo the likely outlets for an odd winning goal or two.

 

Taking a quick look at the Incheon defensive line which can be unpredictable. Keeper Lee Tae-hui has regained his status as first choice keeper, but has conceded five in the past couple of games. Oh Jae-suk and Oh Ban-suk bring the experience to the Incheon defensively line, but can lack pace.

Now looking at the visitors Seongnam FC and their attacking options. Firstly Seongnam will be hoping that tall Serbian Fejsal Mulić can rediscover some form and add to the ten goals he's scored so far this season. He sadly is goalless in six and the only Seongnam player to score more than two all season. Finally they'll be without U22 forward Kang Jae-woo who picked up his fifth booking of the season last weekend against FC Seoul.

Defensively Seongnam FC are pretty average, but are often let down by the attacking line. They like Incheon side with experience over youth at the back, with keeper Kim Young-kwang aka Glory being omnipresent between the sticks so far this season. Finally look out for Austrian Richard Windbichler who will be likely tasked with holding back Stefan Mugosa this Sunday.

Who to Watch

Australian centerback Harrison Delbridge joined Incheon during pre-season follow spells in his native Australia as well as the United States. He started the season slowly but once he found his feet here in the K League he hasn't looked back. His solid debut season took another step forward last weekend when he scored his sides only goal against Jeju United and his first in Korea. He is therefore now a danger going forward as well as a key asset at the back.
