K League 1 Gwangju FC will bring Incheon United home to play its first weekday game.

Gwangju will face Incheon United in the fifth round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at 7:30 p.m. on the 3rd at Gwangju Football Stadium.

Gwangju, which suffered a come-from-behind defeat by 1-2 in the moonlight derby against Daegu in the fourth round of the league on the 31st of last month, plans to re-enter the lead by sacrificing another rival, Incheon United.

Gwangju has fond memories of its 5-0 home win over Incheon in the 23rd season. Gwangju has been leading the league with five wins, three draws and two losses in the last 10 games, and has lost just one home game since 2015. However, we must not let our guard down. Gwangju, which faced Incheon in the final round in October, lost 0-2 to Incheon as a member of the rotation team.

In the match against Incheon, where his main weapon is fast counterattack, wingback Kim Jin-ho, who will be Gwangju's shield, is expected to be the key player. Kim Jin-ho, who has been playing in the starting lineup as soon as he moved from Gangwon Province this season, was recently named as the next national team member by coach Lee Jung-hyo. His specialty is fast and daredevil breakthrough by freely using both feet and displaying brilliant personal skills.

Gabriel's performance, which is being intensively checked by the opponent's defense, is also key. If Lee Hee-kyun and Lee Kun-hee, who will work with Gabriel, make good use of their scoring opportunities, they may be aiming for a great victory.

Incheon, which has had one win and two draws in the recent three games, is committed to continuing its upward trajectory in away matches in Gwangju. The team plans to tap Gwangju's goalie with its signature fast and efficient soccer by banking on its foreign offensive duo Mugosa and Gerso. Yonichi, the centerpiece of the three-backs who support their quick counterattacks, will likely defend against Gwangju's offense by displaying salty water defense.

Attention is focusing on what kind of player Lee Jung-hyo will put in after being hit by his opponent's five-back defense, which he must catch to break a losing streak, and what Gwangju's own countermeasures will be against Incheon's fast counterattack football.
