Gwangju FC will host Gimcheon Sangmu as they look to rack up points to stay in the top half of the table.

Gwangju will host Gimcheon in the 32nd round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at the Gimcheon Sports Complex at 7 p.m. on April 28.

Gwangju, who missed out on Final A with a loss against Jeju last time out, is determined to secure the seventh spot and widen the gap between itself and the relegation zone with a win against Gimcheon.

Gwangju has been playing a tough schedule of ACLE and league play recently. Gwangju will have to play away to Kawasaki on the first of next month, and how they overcome the physical factor against Gimcheon just two days earlier will be key to their victory.

Gwangju has been unable to capitalize on its goal-scoring chances in the past and has lost many games because of this. In the last match against Jeju, they also missed crucial chances and were outnumbered.

Fortunately,

Lee Eun-hee, who missed the Jeju game due to accumulating cautions, is back in the lineup for Gimcheon, and special assistant Choi Kyung-rok is also available. Gabriel, Lee Hee-gyun, and Asani are also ready to fire up the scoring arsenal, which is expected to boost the team’s scoring power.

It will also be essential for the team to build a solid defensive unit with Heo Yul recovering from a minor injury, Lee Min-ki returning to form at fullback in the second half of the season, and Kim Jin-ho showing his stamina in almost every game.

Meanwhile, Gimcheon is currently in a three-way tie for the league title with Ulsan and Gangwon. They have one win and one loss against Gwangju this season. 메이저사이트 One player of particular note is Lee Dong-kyung, who scored a wedge goal in the last match, his first league goal of the season and 10th of his career.

Lee plays the role of an inverted winger who comes in from the flanks to the center, and along with Kim Seung-seop and Park Sang-hyuk, he is a player to watch out for as he is adept at switching play.

After Gimcheon, Gwangju will travel to Kawasaki, Japan for the second leg of the ACLE. With a home game against Seoul the following weekend, Gwangju has a crucial week that could make or break their season.

With a dual goal of staying in the league and qualifying for the ACLE qualifying rounds, Gwangju needs the support of its fans more than ever.
