It's early days in the National League and both Gimhae City and Paju Citizen are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Gimhae have less rest than Paju Citizen in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a FA Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Gimhae Civil Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Paju Citizen have had more rest.
