Gimcheon Sangmu and FC Anyang bring round 20 of the South Korean K League 1 to an end when they lock horns at the Gimcheon Sports Complex on Sunday. Jeong-yong Jung’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having suffered a 3-1 defeat when the two sides met in March.
Gimcheon Sangmu continued to struggle for consistency in the league as they were held to a goalless draw by 10-man Daejeon Hana Citizen in midweek.
This followed a 1-0 victory over Pohang Steelers on June 14, a result which saw their five-game winless run across all competitions come to an end.
Gimcheon have picked up 29 points from their 19 K League 1 matches so far to sit third in the table, level on points with Ulsan and Pohang Steelers.
