Gangwon vs Gimcheon Sangmu Prediction
The game is too close to call, given the similar recent form of the two teams. Both are struggling in the bottom half of the table, with just two points separating them.
Gangwon, though, will feel confident coming into this tie after winning their derby outing against Seongnam. However, they will have to show more consistency to build on that result.
Gimcheon, meanwhile, will hope to get some momentum back into their campaign. With just four wins in their opening 18 encounters, they are in need of points to move up the points table.
Historically, Gangwon have had an edge in this tie, and that is expected to continue when the two teams meet on Friday.
Prediction: Gangwon 2-1 Gimcheon Sangmu.
