FC Seoul and Suwon FC will face off in the 15th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at 4:30 p.m. on May 24 at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Seoul is seventh with four wins, six draws and four losses (18 points), while Suwon FC is tenth with three wins, five draws and six losses (14 points).

Seoul's defense is solid. It allows only 12 runs in the league. This is the second-fewest number of runs in the league. In fact, no other game has Seoul been defeated by two points, except for the away game of Jeju SK FC, the opening game of the league. Seoul's high defensive stability is evidenced by several records. Six scoreless games (2nd in the league) and the expected loss (xG loss) value (10.1), which is the "minimum" in the league, explains this.
However, Seoul's poor scoring ability is being hamstrung by the team. Seoul has only scored 11 points in the league. It is the lowest scoring club in the league along with Gangwon FC. Seoul's poor scoring capacity has led to poor performance of "seven consecutive league games winless" since April.
Above all, this lack of goals is aggravated by the fact that the team is not negligent in offense. Seoul ranks second in terms of chances creation (26 times), expected score (23.2), accurate pass per game (381.8 times), cross accuracy per game (5.6 times), and effective shot per game (5 times). They often create threatening situations that are close to scoring goals. However, the team is also ranking second (20 times) in the league in terms of "Big Chance Miss." With the team close to scoring goals, failing to lead to goals is a challenge Seoul is currently facing.
It is an important time to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Already, Lingard the "captain" of Seoul is producing many chances. Lingard's expected assist value (xA) is 3.9, which boasts the best in the K League 1. In addition, he can aim for a goal with his teammates at any time, including five big chances (3rd in the league) and 38th in general chances (2nd in the league). However, Lingard has only one assist so far. Now he is a striker in Seoul who needs to connect Lingard's fierce pass to a "goal."
There is a hopeful part. In the past 14 rounds, "newcomer" Banks led the team to victory in away games against Daegu FC, reporting his first goal in the league. It was a score made after working with Lingard. If the players again show stronger teamwork, Seoul's scoring capacity can be improved enough.

The problem is poor scoring as well. With only 13 goals, the team is only one place higher than those of Seoul and Gangwon, which are at the bottom of the team's scoring list. However, Suwon FC's "goal drought" caused a welcome rain in the 14th round. It secured a 3-0 "multi-score victory" over Daejeon Hana Citizen, which was in the lead. It is the first time that Suwon FC has won by more than two goals this season.
The top contributor to his victory was Andersson who contributed greatly. He showed two goals and one assist. Not limited to the match against Daejeon, Andersson has been performing well overall this season. From the indicators that require breathing with colleagues, such as creating big chances (7 times), helping (4 times), and creating general opportunities (36 times), to the indicators based on personal ability (2.8 times) are all showing positive performance.
If Sabak, who has four goals, and Lee Jae-won, who has become the core of the midfield, are together, they can show more powerful performances. Suwon FC's victory would not be so obvious if they showed a performance where their strengths coexist in the away game in Seoul. 메이저사이트
Seoul boasts an overwhelming advantage with 14 wins, four draws, and one loss between the two teams. Furthermore, Suwon FC, which has failed to win its last 11 games against Seoul, is in the midst of an away win in the league this season. It will also be a good point to watch and see if Suwon FC will catch all three rabbits with its victory this season, from its second consecutive league win to its first away win of the season to its 11-game winless victory against Seoul.
