The Gangwon & Ulsan managers B. Kim and D. Kim are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the K-League 1 league table.
It's no vacation for neither Gangwon nor Ulsan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Gangwon form and stats
Seven points from three K-League 1 home games is a great start for Gangwon, who are hoping to build on that form here at Gangneung Stadium.
Gangwon shared the glory with Suwon Bluewings in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. In the game before, an away victory match versus Incheon United with a 2-1 scoreline.
Gangwon are traveling soon after this match as the K-League 1 match at Pohang Steelers awaits in four days.
The Gangwon fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. From these home matches, Gangwon have conceded only 2 goals.
Ulsan form and stats
Ulsan, who have the most scored goals (14) in K-League 1, are happy with their away performances in the K-League 1 so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.
Ulsan have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Hyun-Woo Cho. It's been 258 minutes since they last conceded in K-League 1.
Ulsan won their last game, 1-0 versus Seongnam played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Pohang Steelers with the score of 4-0.
The schedule is very tough for Ulsan now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A K-League 1 game at Seoul is waiting in only four days.
Ulsan are a potent attacking force on the road with their 8 goals in 3 league games. 3 goals have been conceded by Ulsan in these games.
