Gangwon take on the visitors Jeju United in the round 24 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Saturday, July 20th at Chuncheon Songam Stadium (Chuncheon).
Last season, Gangwon were on the verge of being relegated from K League 1. However, 23 rounds into the current championship, this team is confidently sitting in fourth place in the table, just four points behind second-placed Ulsan and five behind leaders Gimcheon Sangmu. In the previous two matches, the team managed to gain only one point, but both games were away. At home, Gangwon looks impressive, especially recently, having secured four victories in their last five home games: against Ulsan (1-0), Jeonbuk Motors (2-1), FC Suwon (3-1), and Gwangju FC (2-0). In the previous round, their top scorer, Brazilian Ribeiro (9 goals), returned to action. He had a warm-up match, and now it's time for him to start scoring again.

Jeju United played their quarterfinal cup match away against Gimpo a few days ago, where the players exerted a lot of effort. They managed to win (1-0). However, in away matches in the championship, the team has clear problems this season. In terms of statistics, Jeju is one of the worst teams in away K League matches. In their last five away games, Jeju suffered four defeats: against Gimcheon Sangmu (0-1), Daegu (0-1), Gwangju FC (1-2), and even Jeonbuk Motors (1-2). Additionally, it's worth noting that defender Song, midfielder Yang, and central forward Goo Kim are still injured and won't be able to help the team. In the national championship, the "deer" are struggling with five defeats in their last eight rounds.
I agree with the bookmakers that the hosts have a better chance of success in this match than the guests, at least on paper. Gangwon is higher in the table, having collected significantly more points. Plus, Jeju has been performing very poorly in away matches this season, losing seven out of 11 K League away games with only two wins. It's also important to remember that while the hosts have been preparing for this match and resting for a week since the previous round of the championship, Jeju spent their energy in an away cup match against Gimpo. Based on all of the above, I consider a handicap (0) bet on Gangwon to be very logical.
Prediction for the match: Gangwon to win with 0.0 handicap.
