Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Cheongju & Gangwon face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Korean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cheongju and Gangwon.
Cheongju form and stats
Cheongju have not come this way in the Korean Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Hwaseong and SMCE. Cheongju participated in Korean Cup the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.Three K2-League home games done for Cheongju, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. The last three games played by Cheongju, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Two draws in a row at home now for Cheongju.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Ulsan Citize in the K2-League last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Cheongju drew at home versus Hwaseong.
A decent goal production from Cheongju in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cheongju with 7 goals conceded in these matches.
Gangwon form and stats
Gangwon was sent out of Korean Cup in the quarter-finals last season.As the visiting team in K-League Classic matches, Gangwon have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.
The supporters enjoyed Gangwon's previous game versus Daegu, a K-League Classic 3-0 win played at home. A 1-1 draw at Jeju United's stadium before that.
Gangwon has another fixture away, a K-League Classic game, against Suwon in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Gangwon when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Gangwon struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 9 goals conceded from these games.
