Daejeon Hana vs Jeonbuk Hyundai Prediction: We Seek The Worse Side Between These Underperformers

The walls of the Gangneung reverberate with aura as the two sides clash ahead of Matchday 21; Gangwon and Gwangju FC enjoyed the euphoric thrill of victories last week. The Kodiaks have sweated at the hands of Gwangju in recent meetings, and given the opportunity to showcase strength on their home turf, they are determined to give the guests hell as a payback for the strain they have put on their league ambitions.

Recent Form: W-L-L-W-W

The Kodiaks have nine points under their belt against five recent league opponents - a feat considered admirable with the tension level accrued by the hostilities proffered by the league this season. Gangwon’s initial momentum raised brows as they went from being one of the poorest teams last season to being among the league elites in the early stages. However, a few point misses have simmered their momentum to the fifth spot - a critically acclaimed spot considered more befitting.

The Kodiaks Enjoy one of the most palatable home runs, with four wins, one loss, and one stalemate compiled in front of their fans at the Gangenung. Yago Cariello continues to be a fan favorite, relishing his role last week in the 4-4-2 formation by converting goal-scoring opportunities, earning his keep in the victory against Incheon United.

League Form: W-L-L-W-W

Gwangju FC plays this game as strangers at the Gangneung despite their recent commendable record of three wins and two losses. Their losing brace against the Citizens of Daejeon and Suwon City was reverted last week in their 2-1 triumph over Jeju United.

In this game, they mirror Pohang’s formation, hoping to either replicate their performance and obtain a stalemate or push for a win, as a defeat could spell the end for a finish in the league’s top tier.

Defender Jin Ho Kim is tipped as the moist fit for this game. Despite a strong attack being preferred to a strong defense, his clearances and aerial competence are expected to help minimize Gangwon’s insidious attacks, which are not likely to cease until full-time.

The last five meetings between the sides produced three stalemates and two wins for Gwangju FC. Two BTTS and three Under 2.5 cases were recorded in these meetings.

The Kodiaks are a high-scoring side, with nine goals recorded in their last respective matches. The visitors also score in their games but have higher goal concessions. Here are our thoughts on this clash:

• A BTTS at 1.61 odds from Betway.
• A win for Gangwon at 2.75 odd from Bet365.
• O 2.5 at 2.03 odds from 1xbet.
