‘I’ll do it, five in a row.’
FC Seoul and Gangwon FC, the two teams with the best flow in professional soccer K League 1, will clash.
The two teams will face off in the 28th round of “Hana Bank K League 1 2024” at 7:30 p.m. on the 24th at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Home team Seoul is currently sixth in the league with 12 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses (42 points), while Gangwon, which is on the road, is the league’s sole leader with 15 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses (50 points).
Although the rankings differ, they have something in common that they have recently been on an upward curve. Both clubs have won four consecutive games.
Seoul added three points in four consecutive games with a 1-0 victory over Jeju United in the 27th round.
Following Lucas Silva’s debut goal in his debut match, Yazan, another ambitious work through the summer transfer market, started two consecutive games and contributed to a scoreless victory.
Existing resources and transfer students who have fully adapted to coach Kim Ki-dong’s soccer boast good chemistry. If Seoul takes advantage of this momentum to catch Gangwon, it will achieve five consecutive wins in about eight years since the last 2016 season.
Gangwon aims for its second five-game winning streak this season. Having achieved five consecutive wins in seven years since 2017 by winning the match against Suwon FC (3-1) in the 17th round, Gangwon aims to win another five-game series in this match against Seoul.
As a team that showed the potential to lead the ‘surprise solo lead’, it boasted an extraordinary rise by winning a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the previous round.
With Gwangju FC trailing 0-2, Kovacevic scored multiple goals to correct the balance of the game. And Henry scored the winning goal in the 30th minute of the second half, sealing Gangwon’s winning streak.
Gangwon, which solidified its lead with the victory on the day, was the first among the K League 1 teams to reach the 50 points mark this season.
Both teams are on the rise, but if they narrow their eyes with the recent showdown, Seoul will have the upper hand.
In the last five matches, Seoul leads with three wins and two draws. Seoul also showed strong performance against Gangwon with one win and one draw this season. Gangwon’s difficult challenge is expected in that it has a home advantage.
At the same time on the same day, Incheon United and Jeonbuk Hyundai, which are in the midst of lower-ranked competition, will meet at Incheon Football Stadium.
Incheon is currently ninth in the league with 6 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses (28 points), and Jeonbuk is the lowest in the league with 6 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses (26 points).
Incheon, which seemed to be out of the “survival king” title, is competing again, and Jeonbuk, which was considered the “3 strongest” along with Ulsan HD and Seoul before the opening of this season, is having a shocking year.
As the difference in points is not large, the lower-ranked league table could fluctuate greatly depending on the results of the game, so both teams aim for three points.
Their trustees are the “Ace” who returned from injury.
First, Incheon has high expectations for Gerson.
Gerson, who suffered an ankle injury in the match against Jeonbuk (2-2 draw) in the 17th round, played his first return game in two months through the match against Daejeon Hana Citizen (1-2 loss) in the 27th round. 토토사이트
Incheon lost the game, but it was time to check ace Gerson’s performance.
Jeonbuk has midfielder Kwon Chang-hoon.
Jeonbuk had a dramatic 2-1 victory against the Pohang Steelers in the previous round. Kwon Chang-hoon, who made his debut as a substitute in the second half, scored the final goal at the theater in the 55th minute of the second half to give his team three valuable points.
If Kwon Chang-hoon, a “midfielder from the national team” who seems to have regained his condition, shows off his performance as before, Jeonbuk is expected to be able to escape the bottom through two consecutive wins.
