Gangwon will host Jeonbuk at the Chuncheon Songam Sports Town on Friday in another round of the 2025 K League 1 campaign. The home side have endured a rather difficult campaign so far, finding themselves ninth in the table with 21 points, a far cry from their third-place regular-season finish last year.
They were beaten 2-1 by Pohang Steelers in their last match with Vitor Gabriel opening the scoring after just 11 minutes before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second half.
Jeonbuk, meanwhile, have performed brightly in the South Korean top flight this term as they look to reclaim the K League 1 title for the first time since 2021. They picked up a clinical 3-1 comeback victory over champions Ulsan in their game a fortnight ago, featuring goals from three different players, including South Korea international Jin-seob Park.
Trending
The visitors sit atop the table with 35 points from 17 matches. They are three points above second-placed Daejeon Hana and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top with maximum points on Friday.
