Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC
- Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC have won three and drawn two of their last five K-League 1 2026 matches to keep their unbeaten record intact.
- The hosts have lost only twice in seven K-League 1 2026 home games, winning five, and should be able to make the most of their home advantage against a solid, if unspectacular, Gangwon side.
- Jung's Jeonbuk are third in K-League 1 2026 with 26 points from 15 matches, just two points clear of Gangwon, who occupy fourth spot on 24 points.
- Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, who have scored 2.14 goals per home game in 2026, will be confident of finding a way through Gangwon, who have taken one win and one draw from their last two away games.
- The difference between these two sides will be in the way they approach the game, as Jeong-Yong Jung is a possession man and has brought a much more structured 4-2-3-1 to the 전주 fortress since taking over on 24 December 2025.
Gangwon FC
- Gangwon, who have taken one win and one draw from their last two away games.
- Gangwon's Kyung-Ho Chung took over on 6 December 2024 and his men are much more of a pressing team, turning teams over quickly and breaking with real vertical menace.
Head-to-Head
The last two matches between the two sides have finished level with a 1-1 draw two months ago , while Jeonbuk have not won their last home meeting with Gangwon .
