✅ Gangwon are rightfully considered one of the leaders of South Korean football. Last season the team finished fifth in the championship, and in the current campaign they sit third.

During this run the team scored 8 goals, conceded 11 and kept a clean sheet on only two occasions.

Seongnam Ilhwa Team Overview
The current away side's last official match took place in the K League 2 (home side - Paju Citizen, away side - Seongnam). The match ended 2:1.

- possession: 57% vs 43%;
- corners: 5 vs 7;
- fouls: 16 vs 10;

✅ Seongnam's form also raises plenty of questions. While they did put together a three-match winning run a little earlier, they have lost two of their subsequent three matches. The team's main problem is an extremely vulnerable defence. The Magpies struggle to deal with opposition attacks and have kept a clean sheet in only 2 of their previous 9 matches.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Despite a temporary dip in form, Gangwon go into this match as favourites. The team sit third in the domestic league and have one of the most reliable defences in the division. In 22 league matches, the hosts have conceded just 19 goals, averaging 0.86 per game. One of Gangwon's defeats also came in the Asian League, where they faced one of the continent's strongest sides - Gamba Osaka (0:1), who recently beat the star-studded Al-Nassr, featuring Ronaldo, Felix and Mane, in an international cup. So these difficulties are clearly temporary in nature.
Seongnam, meanwhile, compete in the second division and simply do not have the resources to go toe-to-toe with top-flight sides. The head-to-head record is also firmly in the hosts' favour: Gangwon have won the previous five meetings against the visitors and will surely extend that run. Editor's Pick: Gangwon win in regular time.
