On Wednesday morning, Incheon United host Gangwon FC at the Sungui Arena Park, as the home team looks to move closer to the Championship Group in the South Korean K-League.
Incheon United are currently eighth-place in the table, but are just five points adrift of the top-six, with this match as their game in-hand on their rivals already occupying a position in the league’s Championship Group.
The home side’s recent league form has hampered their chances of making the top-six in the South Korean top-flight, as they are now winless in six matches in the K-League. To make matters worse, Cho Sung-Hwan’s team has lost five of those six winless matches too.
A lack of goals has been Incheon’s worse problem of late in the K-League, as they have failed to score in their last four outings in the South Korean top-flight.
Incheon United have also suffered three straight home defeats in the K-League, having scored just one goal in the three losses. Their recent home league matches have been low-scoring, tight affairs, as six of their last seven games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Gangwon FC are in 11th place in the K-League table and look doomed to finish in the league’s relegation group.
Similarly, to their hosts, the visitor's recent form in the South Korean top-flight has been poor, as they head into this game on the back of defeats in four of their previous five outings in top-flight.
The visitors away results have been particularly bad of late in the K-League, as they have suffered five straight defeats on their travels in the top-flight. They have also won just once in their previous 11 league matches away from home.
Forebet predicts that Incheon United will get backing to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
