In their previous game, the manager B. Kim led his Gangwon to a defeat in the K-League 1 match away at Pohang Steelers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Chuncheon Songam Stadium. Gangwon were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Park Sang-Hyeok, an attacker, was the highest rated player for the side in that game, earning a rating of 7.04 (out of 10).

Before that, Gangwon played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Gwangju.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
