Incheon United entertain Gangwon FC at the Sungui Arena Park in the K League 1 on Sunday (June 30). Both teams will look to shake off their poor form.
Incheon are eying a return to winning ways following a string of poor results in the league and Korea Cup. They have won twice, drawn four times and lost four times in their last 10 games across competitions. Moreover, the hosts dropped six points, at home and away, in their last two league games.
IUFC are in search of their first top-flight title. Last season, they finished fifth, but things are not looking too good midway into this campaign.
They are ninth with 20 points – 18 points behind the top spot. Incheon suffered a 4-0 drubbing in their last meeting against Gangwon FC.
Gangwon, meanwhile, have seen their impressive pace in the standings halted by dismal performances recently, dropping nine points in their last three games.
The visitors are fifth with 31 points but could have hit the top spot by now if not for those losses. However, with three wins in their last five trips, they will fancy their chances in Incheon.
Gangwon are yet to win the K League 1 title. They finished 10th last season but appear on track to produce a better performance this term.
They could leap to third if they succeed at the Sungui Arena Park. Gangwon have won once in their last two trips to the venue, but the hosts appear determined to claim maximum points.
