Gangwon and Jeju United meet so often that they know each other's game inside out. Last season they faced each other twice and both ended with the same score, and further back there were both a goalless draw and a match where Gangwon thrashed them 4-0 at home. This time it's different because both are near the top of the table, very close together, separated by just a single point. This match therefore carries more weight than any of their previous meetings. Gangwon have gone 5 matches without losing, but drew as many as 4. Their attack is still serviceable but they struggle to close games out. Jeju United, meanwhile, are also unbeaten in 4 straight, and have just drawn 2-2 away in their latest match. Both teams score about the same this season, but Gangwon concede slightly fewer goals. The pattern is likely to be Gangwon dominating possession and gradually pushing the game up, with Jeju United waiting for counter-attacking chances. The first half may still be tense because both start cautiously, but the second half should open up more, especially late on when both teams tend to score more than at other times.
