Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ansan Greeners & Asan Mugunghwa face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Korean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Greeners nor Asan Mugunghwa 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.

The Greeners crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Jeonnam Dragons here at Ansan Wa~ Stadium in a K League 2 match. A 1-1 draw away in the K League 2 before that, with Busan I'Park the opponent.
Heartbreak for Greeners in their last match as Jeonnam Dragons's Alex scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Greeners as they are travelling to their away game against Bucheon 1995 in the K League 2. That match is three days after this one.

Asan Mugunghwa form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Goyang Citizen in order to reach 3rd round of Korean Cup. Asan Mugunghwa was sent out of Korean Cup in the 3rd round last season.Things could have gone better for Asan Mugunghwa in their K League 2 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Mugunghwa, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Seoul E. in the K League 2 last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Gyeongnam.
Kim In-Gyun came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Seoul E. last time out, making the manager D. Park feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Seoul E., was very satisfying as Kim In-Gyun scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
