Seongnam vs Gangwon Prediction
Historically as well as on recent form, this fixture heavily favours the visitors. Gangwon have a strangehold in this fixture; they are unbeaten in their last five clashes against Seongnam across competitions.
Both teams, though, are languising at the bottom of the division and are in desperate need of points. Seongnam are six points off their nearest neighbours Suwon Bluewings and have a lot of catch-up to do to avoid the relegation round.
Considering the same, a victory for Gangwon is likely to be on the cards.
Prediction: Seongnam 1-3 Gangwon.
