Gangwon welcome Jeonbuk Motors to the Chuncheon Songam Stadium for K League 1 round 25 fixture on Friday (July 26th). The hosts will be looking to build on the emphatic 4-0 victory they registered over Jeju United at this same stadium last weekend.
They took the lead courtesy of Jeong Woon's 14th-minute own goal. Yan Min-Hyuk scored a brace while Franko Kovacevic scored one goal in the rout.
Jeonbuk, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a hard-fought 2-0 home win over Ulsan Hyundai. They broke the deadlock in the 79th minute through Orobo Tiago. Andrigo made sure of the result with his goal in the eighth minute of injury time.
The victory took them to 10th spot in the table, having garnered 23 points from 24 games. Gangwon are fourth with 41 points to their name.

Gangwon vs Jeonbuk Motors Prediction
Gangwon were emphatic in their victory over Jeju United and got back to winning ways after two games without victory. The victory also kept them three points off the summit.
Jeonbuk Motors were on a poor run of form but boosted their survival hopes with their victory last time out. The victory lifted them off the foot of the table and they will be aiming to win consecutive games for the first time since April. Those two victories came at home though and chances of matching that feat are slim as Jeonbuk have lost five of their last six away games.
Games between these two sides tend to be tight affairs and we are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
