Gwangju FC Favoured to Make Home Edge Count Against Gimcheon

Gwangju FC could be without defender Min Sang-gi, who was forced off injured in the last match and remains a doubt for this game.

Gimcheon Sangmu have several absentees. Midfielder Lee Soo-bin is suspended for two matches, while Lee Jeong-taek serves a one-match ban. Lee Chan-wook is also doubtful, and Kang Joo-hyuk and Kim Min-gyu are out injured.

Gwangju FC drew 1-1 with FC Anyang in their previous outing. The team has now gone 16 straight league matches without a win since March. However, Gwangju have added reinforcements in the transfer window. With their transfer ban lifted, they are hoping the new arrivals can help improve their league position.

Gimcheon Sangmu lost 2-0 away to Gangwon FC last time out. After Lee Soo-bin was sent off early, Gimcheon were unable to recover and never truly got back into the game. With two important players unavailable for this match, they may face an even tougher challenge.

Although Gwangju have gone a long time without a victory, this could be their best chance in months to take points. Gimcheon currently sit only one place above them and are missing key players, while Gwangju look better equipped after strengthening the squad. The home side are worth backing here.

The two teams drew 1-1 in their first meeting this season. In their three meetings last year, two ended level and Gwangju won once.
