Gangwon take on the visitors Jeonbuk in the round 15 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 29th at Chuncheon Songam Stadium (Chuncheon).
After 14 rounds, the hosting side sits in fourth place in the table. Gangwon have only failed to score twice in the championship, and both instances occurred in away games. Their attack is impressive, having scored 25 goals in 14 matches. Gangwon prefers an open style of football, enjoys playing offensively, and allows their opponents to do the same. Consequently, they have conceded 24 goals in these 14 league matches. In four of their last five K-League matches, both teams have scored (BTTS): wins over Suwon FC (2-1) and Daegu (2-1), a draw with Daejeon Citizen (3-3), and a loss to Pohang Steelers (2-4).

The renowned and decorated Jeonbuk Motors had a disappointing season last year, finishing without medals in the K-League. This season, things are even worse for the team – after 14 rounds, the Greens are only in tenth place in the table. However, they have managed to score 18 goals, indicating they can at least score once against Gangwon's less-than-stellar defense. Jeonbuk can score and even win away games. For example, in April, they defeated Seoul (3-2) away, and in May, they beat Gwangju FC (3-0).
Despite Gangwon being significantly higher in the table and having 8 more points, bookmakers are hesitant to designate a clear favorite for this match, viewing the chances of success as roughly equal. I tend to agree that it's better not to bet on the match outcome. Instead, I choose the Both Teams to Score bet. On average, Jeonbuk both scores and concedes more than one goal per game. Gangwon's averages for both metrics exceed 1.5 goals per match. Additionally, in their head-to-head encounters, both teams have scored in the last three matches in a row (1-2, 3-1, and 3-2).
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
