FC Seoul vs Gangwon FC Prediction: The Kodiaks Won’t Take A Second Loss Against Seoul

The Gangwon Kodiaks take a detour to the Seoul World Cup Stadium at the behest of the nineteenth round of the K League. With increasing traction in the league as it slowly edges towards a conclusion, the two sides would strive for better outcomes than two stalemates in the last two meetings. Six days ago, the two sides clashed in the FA Cup, with Seoul seeing the Kodiaks off in a 5-4 shootout after a goalless stalemate in standard time.

Can Gangwon still fit in the elite positions from a win, or would the Cheetahs bring them down as they have done in the last two meetings?

FC Seoul (7th)

League Form: W-D-L-D-D

The Cheetahs of Seoul have six points from the last five games, with three stalemates, a loss, and a win. However, Seoul’s recent triumph over Suwon FC in the Super Match was enough icing after their FA Cup win over Gangwon FC.

Seong Jin Kang is expected to put things right in the midfield, creating a nuisance against the Kodiaks as he did in the Cup game, which saw his team off to the next round. Seoul has two wins on their turf in the last five matches across all tournaments and would be needing a three-point hammer to nail the opponent’s coffin.

Gangwon FC (11th)

League Form: L-W-W-W-W

The Kodiaks are nearly spotless, with twelve substantial points in the last five league games. Establishing themselves as an interested party in the top region of the table, they have not had much luck against Seoul. With a grudge to repay the FA Cup loss, the hope is for the frontmen to do their jobs while entrusting the last lines to Yeong bin Kim, who has recently proven his worth in the defence repeatedly.

H2H ANALYSIS (LAST FIVE MEETINGS)

Seou has dominated affairs over Gangwon in the last five meetings with three stalemates and two wins. Three BTTS have been recorded between the sides, with four cases of less than three goals.

Expert Betting Tips

The Kodiaks need a win in this game, no matter how little, for two reasons: to foster their league ambitions and prove to their fans that they can’t be beaten twice by Seoul, who conversely are determined to prove to the Kodiaks that the previous win was not a coincidence. Our top three thoughts for this fixture are:

• Over three goals, we see the two sides tearing each other between the halves. Bet365 tips this at 1.95 odds.
• A BTTS is also valid as the two sides have shown scoring capabilities. Betway considers 1.77 odds for this option.
• A stalemate is the final resort between these teams. 1xbet tips a draw at 3.44 odds.
