Gangwon and Daejeon will battle for three points in a K1 League round 22 clash on Saturday (July 19th). The game will be played at Chuncheon Songam Stadium.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 away win over Daegu in the Korean Cup quarterfinal. They were ahead at the break thanks to Goo Bon-Cheul's 43rd-minute strike. Kim Gun-Hee doubled their lead three minutes into the second half while Cesinha halved the deficit just past the hour-mark.
Gangwon will shift their attention to the league scene where their last game saw them claim a 2-1 away win over Suwon FC.
Daejeon, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Jeju SK three weeks ago. They were reduced to 10 men when Vladislavs Gutkovskis was sent off but still went ahead through Jeong Jae-Hee's 79th-minute strike. Nam Tae-Hee equalized deep into injury time.
The stalemate left them in second spot in the standings, having garnered 35 points from 21 games. Gangwon are eighth with 28 points.

Gangwon vs Daejeon Prediction
Gangwon are unbeaten in their last four games, winning the last three on the bounce. They are fresh off securing their spot in the last four of the cup and will be looking to keep this run going.
Daejeon, for their part, are second but too far off table-toppers Jeonbuk. They are winless in their last five games, which has seen their title challenge derail. They have drawn each of their last four games on the bounce.
Four of the last six head-to-head games have ended in draws and this trend could continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
