Gwangju are desperately clinging to their chances of staying in the league, currently sitting in twelfth place.

Conceding an average of 2.13 goals per match, Gwangju rightfully earn the title of one of the worst defenses this season.
Their attack isn't much better: averaging just 0.7 goals per game over the last ten matches is more reminiscent of a relegation struggler than a team fighting to maintain their top-flight status. Serious adjustments are needed if they want to avoid slipping further down the standings.
