Losing to in the last round, with 8 points behind their opponents, it is impossible for any miracle to happen for the league champion this season. Therefore, after the last round, players such as Baek Seung Ho even shed tears of sadness.
The result of the loss is one aspect, on the other hand, some of the referee's calls in the game also made Jeonbuk unhappy, back Mang Sung-woong and Kim Young-gwon collided not only with a fracture of the cheekbone, but also concussion symptoms, Han Kyo-Won was Seol Young-woo's spikes kicked in the back of the head, the two are not eligible to participate in this game. In addition, the team's center back Park Jin-seop was injured in the last game with a broken nose, so there is no need to take a risk in this game. And skipper Kim Sang-sik and center back Hong Jung-sik will also miss this match because they were sent off by the referee in the last match.
They are currently in 5th place with only 49 points, but considering that Jeonbuk Hyundai can give the league an extra spot if they win the title, the Gangwon side has the will to win. And with manager Choi Yong-soo in his first season with the team, there is still a fundamental difference between the team making it to the AFC Champions League or not. So, whether it's the personnel situation or the motivation to play, Gangwon is undoubtedly above Jeonbuk. All things considered, Jeonbuk Hyundai can focus on the FA Cup final, and it's hard to re-energize their morale for this game, so Gangwon has a great hope of grabbing points as a visitor.
