Gwangju will host Seoul at the Chuncheon Songam Sports Town on Friday in another round of the 2025 K League 1 campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league of late after a bright start to their season and now sit sixth in the table with 24 points from 17 matches.
They were held to a 1-1 draw by last-placed Daegu in their last match, taking the lead late in the first half via a spot kick from Albania international Jasir Asani before their opponents leveled things up midway through the second.
Seoul have also had their struggles in the league this season but remain in contention for a top-half finish with half of the regular season now gone. They suffered a deflating 3-1 home defeat to Jeju in their last league outing, finding themselves three goals down midway through the second half before Yazan Alarab reduced the deficit with his maiden strike for the club.
The visitors sit one place and two points behind their weekend opponents in the league standings and will be looking to leapfrog them with maximum points on Friday.
