FC Seoul and Geangwon FC return to action in the South Korean K League 1 when they lock horns at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Tuesday. Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting results, with Kyeong-Ho Jeong’s men suffering a humbling home defeat against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.
FC Seoul returned to winning ways in style as they edged out Gwangju FC 3-1 at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium last Friday. Before that, Gi Dong Kim’s side saw their six-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end on May 31 when they fell to a 3-1 home defeat against Jeju FC.
Seoul have picked up 25 points from their 18 K League 1 matches so far to sit sixth in the standings, one point above seventh-placed FC Anyang, just outside the Championship round places.
