Gangwon
In the previous 23 matches, the team has amassed 38 points and currently occupies the fourth place in the league standings.

Jeju United
Jeju United is slightly lower in the standings, occupying the seventh position with 28 points. They are just one point shy of the Championship group, making it a realistic target.

Their defense is unconvincing, currently the fourth-worst in K-League 1. Their recent form mirrors that of Gangwon, with three wins and two losses in the last five matches.
