Gwangju FC welcomes Incheon United home for their first midweek match of the season.
Gwangju, led by head coach Lee Jung-hyo, will face Incheon United in the fifth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at the Gwangju Football Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on March 3.
FC Gwangju suffered an upset 1-2 loss in the “Moonlight Derby” against Daegu in the fourth round of the league last month. They took the lead with a debut goal from 2004-born Moon Min-seo, but conceded goals from Yoshino and Edgar to fall to back-to-back defeats.
Now, Gwangju will look to sacrifice another rival, Incheon, to get back to the top of the table. Gwangju has fond memories of a 5-0 home win over Incheon last season. 토토사이트 In the last 10 matches, Gwangju has the edge with five wins, three draws, and two losses.
They have been particularly strong at home.
Looking at their home record alone, Gwangju has only lost to Incheon once since 2015. But don’t let your guard down. The last time Gwangju faced Incheon in the final round in October, they were caught off guard by a rotating Incheon team and lost 0-2.
Against Incheon, a team that relies on quick counterattacks, Gwangju’s shield, wing-back Kim Jin-ho, will be a key player. He has been playing at a first-team level since his move from Gangwon this season. Recently, head coach Lee Jung-hyo also named him as the next national team captain.
Kim specializes in quick, aggressive breakthroughs with both feet and flashy individual skills. Gabriel’s performance is also key as he is often heavily guarded by opposing defenses. If Lee Hee-gyun and Lee Eun-hee, who will partner Gabriel, can capitalize on their scoring chances, they could be in for a big win.
With one win and two draws in their last three matches, Incheon will be looking to continue their momentum against Gwangju. 파워볼실시간 Led by foreign attacking duo Mugosa and Gerso, Incheon will look to pound the Gwangju goal with their trademark fast, efficient soccer. Backing up their quick counterattacks will be back three center back Yonichi, who will look to defend the Gwangju attack with a salty defense.
The fifth-round match against Incheon is a must-win to end the losing streak. After suffering back-to-back defeats against the opponent’s back five, it will be interesting to see what new players Lee Jung-hyo will introduce and what Gwangju’s counterattack tactics will be to counter Incheon’s fast counterattacking football.
