On July 27th at 6 PM, Gwangju FC will host Suwon FC at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium in the 25th round of the K League.
The two teams are currently ranked 8th and 5th in the standings, with a 10-point difference. In terms of style, Korean media have described Gwangju FC as a “rollercoaster,” reflecting their volatile form. Since late June, Gwangju’s form (only looking at the league) can be summarized as: win one match, lose one match; this strange cycle has occurred three times already.
In the last round, Gwangju FC won 1-0 against Daegu away. Will they be able to break out of this cycle in this match? Furthermore, Gwangju FC is the team with the fewest draws in the K League, particularly at home. In their 12 home matches, they have 6 wins and 6 losses with no draws. This, coupled with their “rollercoaster” performance, makes them a “team of character.”
Suwon FC have been in excellent form recently, remaining unbeaten in their last 6 league matches with 4 wins and 2 draws, scoring 13 goals and conceding only 6. They have climbed steadily in the standings. They suffered a three-match losing streak away from home between late May and mid-June, but they have defeated Daejeon Citizen, Gimcheon Sangmu and Incheon United in their last 3 away matches, scoring 9 goals in the process. They are in great shape.
In terms of head-to-head records, Gwangju FC has the upper hand with 7 wins and 3 losses in their last 10 encounters in the past 5 years. However, in their two matches in 2024, Suwon FC secured two consecutive wins with a 2-1 victory away and a 1-0 win at home.
In terms of personnel, Suwon FC has a relatively complete squad. Gwangju FC’s left-back Lee Min-gi, defensive midfielder Choi Jun-hyeok, and center-back Jun-soo Bin are all dealing with varying degrees of fitness issues and their availability is uncertain. Of the three, Jun-soo Bin is a key “sword-wielding center-back” for the team, having scored a spectacular goal in the previous match against Daegu.
