Incheon and Gangwon, which have their respective goals of staying and winning, will face off in the final round of the regular league.토토사이트

Incheon United and Gangwon FC will have a showdown in the 33rd round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at Incheon Football Stadium. Currently, Incheon ranks lowest with seven wins, 11 draws and 14 losses, while Gangwon ranks third with 15 wins, seven draws and 10 losses.

Incheon is not in a good mood these days. It has recorded one win, one draw and three losses in its last five games. Although the team showed good performance in away matches in Pohang, it failed to accumulate points and remained at the bottom of the list, losing 0-1.

The same goes for Gangwon. It has recorded two draws and three losses in its last five games. It scored the first goal in the previous match against Daegu, but allowed an equalizer to earn only one point. In the meantime, the gap widened to six points with Ulsan, the first place.

This match is very important for both teams. If Incheon wins, it can escape from the bottom depending on the situation in Daejeon and Daegu. If Gangwon wins against Incheon, it can catch up to second-place Gimcheon. They must catch each other to achieve their goals. After this match, Incheon will play the remaining five games in Final B and Gangwon will play in Final A.

# It's a matter of survival now. We have to protect it

Incheon needs to show the power of the "remain king" once again. Currently, Incheon is at the bottom with 32 points, three points behind Daejeon. In July, Cho Sung-hwan, who had performed well until last season, resigned due to poor performance, and Choi Young-geun took over from the 26th round, expecting a turnaround, but the results have not changed significantly. Three points are essential to avoid direct relegation.

However, the stability of the defense has been restored. After Choi Young-geun took office, the stability of the defense improved significantly as he switched to four backs. In particular, Kim Gun-hee, who has been unstable so far, has recently found stability and has been playing a central role in the defense. In the 31st round match against Ulsan, he played an important role in defense by firmly protecting Incheon's goal against Yago.

Incheon's goal is three points. You must score a goal to win. Currently, Incheon lacks scoring support. Mugosa, the team's main gun, is ranked second in scoring with 14 goals, but has been sluggish recently. It is time to reduce dependence on Mugosa and support his teammates in scoring. It is a must-do task for Incheon, which is aiming to stay.

After the last match, Choi said, "The players showed their concentration well until the end with determination." However, Incheon needs to play a "winning game" and a "three points" to avoid relegation. It is worth paying attention to whether Incheon will be able to continue its status as the "survival king" by winning the match against Gangwon.

# Yoon Jung-hwan's Kangwon, who is in a slump, can he save his hope of winning?

The team has put the brakes on Kangwon who was cruising hard. Until the 27th round, Kangwon was at the top of the league and led the team in the championship race. However, he failed to win consecutively from the 28th round match against Seoul, and fell to the 3rd place. Kangwon seeks its first championship since its foundation. There is not much difference in points with teams that are competing for the championship. It is no exaggeration to say that the team's victory in this match is at a crossroads of challenges to win the title.

Gangwon desperately needs the performances of its "national duo" Yang Min-hyuk and Hwang Moon-ki. Regardless of Gangwon's recent trend, the two Korean players have been showing good performances. Yang scored in a match against Pohang in the 31st round. Hwang also scored a goal with a fantastic free kick in a match against Daegu in the 32nd round. In particular, Yang proved his worth by making a crack in the opponent's defense by dribbling boldly in the right and center of each game.

Finding a sense of stability in the midfield has become more important than anything else. Gangwon is a team that leads the game by maintaining a high ball possession rate. Excluding the 29th round Suwon FC game out of the last five games, it has averaged nearly 60% of the ball possession regardless of the result of the game. However, the stability of midfield is essential to play such leading soccer. It was a pity that Kim Dong-hyun and Lee Yoo-hyun, who played in midfield in the 32nd round against Daegu, were frequently deprived of the ball, and gave Daegu a chance to counterattack. In this game, stable management of midfield is more important because we have to face Incheon, which uses fast counterattacks as its main offensive pattern.

Gangwon-do has laid the foundation for its team with the appointment of coach Yoon Jung-hwan and coach Chung Kyung-ho. It is organically harmonized with the players and is performing well in the 2024-25 season. As the team's position can be divided depending on the remaining games, attention is being paid to whether the final round of the regular league will increase the possibility of winning the first championship.
