Gangwon vs Jeju United Prediction: This Will Be Very Close

The Yukong Elephants of Jeju United trot to the Gangneung Stadium ahead of Round 23 of the K League in expectation of victory against the Kodiaks. As part of the title-chasing pack, the two sides would push their agendas forward, with the better man owning all points at full-time.

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

The Kodiaks have shown inconsistency in their recent plays, registering two wins, two losses, and one stalemate in their last five games. Losing 2-0 defeat to Pohang Steelers pushed them to the fourth spot, with the stalemate against the citizens of Daejeon last week cushioning things on the home turf. In the last four games played on their home grounds, they have shown resilience with three wins and one loss.

Hwang Mu Ki is the player under the spotlight, expected to ease things for his side with his high press and runs behind the opposition's last man.

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

The Yukong Elephants have not had or taken a break in the last five league games, with a win-loss-win streak. They worsened Pohang's woes last week in the 2-1 victory, foiling their top-table ambitions while improving their league stance. Jeju was fortunate to secure a last-minute goal against GimPo Citizens in the FA Cup game, preventing the game from extra time after securing the 1-0 lead.

Jeju’s pace against Gangwon has always been slow, with concessions in the last five direct games against the high-scoring opposition. Reis is the man to watch for as his 3-4-3 lineup pushes him to his best, cutting in from the forward flanks with his incisive runs and plethora of one-on-one dribbles as he did against Pohang Steelers last week.

The last five games produced five BTTS, with four stalemates and one win for the Kodiaks of Gangwon FC. Three Under three-goal tally was also recorded between the sides, who have dragged a 1-1 dominantly in three of the last five meetings.

This will be a good brawl with either trying as hard as they can to outwit, outrun and outclass each other. Our top three thoughts are:

• A BTTS at 1.65 odds from Betway.
• Under Three Goals at 1.95 odds from Bet365.
• A stalemate at 3.74 odds from 1xbet.
