Gimcheon Sangmu FC
- Gimcheon Sangmu FC come up against Jeju United at Gimcheon Stadium, South Korea, on Sunday in a clash between two mid-table K-League 1 2026 teams that have experienced mixed fortunes this season.
- Sangmu are 11th in the standings with 14 points from 15 matches.
- Gimcheon are winless in 7 at home in K-League 1 2026 (4 draws, 3 losses).
- Gimcheon, appointed Ju on 1 January 2026, have been more aggressive and play with a higher intensity, constantly changing shape and looking to catch teams in transition.
Jeju United
- Jeju are 8th with 18 points from as many games.
- This fixture could be a classic case of possession versus transition, with Sergio Costa's Jeju looking to build and patiently probe for openings while Seung-Jin Ju's Sangmu will be looking to nick it and spring into the offensive on the break.
- Costa took charge of the club on 24 December 2025 and has established a structured team that play plenty of possession football, circulate the ball patiently, and use planned vertical bursts when opportunities arise.
- Jeju have been much better travellers in the K-League 1 2026, winning three, drawing one and losing just three of their seven trips.
- They've only let in six goals on the road and will feel they can snag a result here.
- Jeju drew 2-2 at FC Anyang and lost 1-0 to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in their last two away games, so they haven't been at their best recently, but nor have Sangmu with one win, one draw and three losses in their last five.
