🔥 Match of the Weekend

Busan IPark vs Gimpo FC

📍 Stadium: Gudeok
🕒 Kick-off: Sunday, July 12th. 19:30

Top of the league take on a team who are one of the most dangerous on the road. This is a classic recipe for a captivating affair on the South-east coast. Busan wobbled at Jeonnam last weekend but rescued a point in a stunning 3-3, while Gimpo fell flat at home with a 2-0 defeat to Asan. Most of the teams above Gimpo have fairly straightforward ties this weekend, so they will need to claim all three points to keep up with the play-off pack.

Busan will go into this in an unfamiliar position, as Suwon Bluewings are expected to beat Ansan on Saturday. This means that Busan will be chasing for the first time this season and will know nothing but a win will put them back on top of the table. Anything less and they could end the weekend just 6 points off of seventh.

🕵️ Hidden Story

📖 Gimpo live for Away Games?

With seemingly unending redevelopment taking place at Gimpo’s Salteo stadium, the club have played most of their season away, mounting a play-off challenge in doing so with 6 wins and 5 draws from 13 matches on the road. Their home form however has not been quite as impressive with a draw and a defeat. This continues a pattern that has seen Gimpo pick up more away points than at home in all of their seasons in the K League 2. This once again looks set to happen this season, and that could spell big trouble for Busan this weekend.

👀 Player to Watch

Luis Mina [Gimpo FC]

⭐ Position:
📊 Recent Form: 15 matches, seven goals

The Colombian has been in fine form for Gimpo this season with 7 goals and an assist to his name, he is responsible for almost half of all Gimpo’s goals in their campaign so far.

He will be up against a Busan side that prefer to outscore their opponents, and with Gu Sangmin keeping just 3 clean sheets so far for Busan this season, you can expect Mina to be on the scoresheet. This battle will likely decide the biggest game of the weekend.
