Bucheon FC 1995 will try to turn the tide against Gangwon FC (hereafter Gangwon) in the fourth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2026' at Bucheon Sports Complex on the 18th.
Bucheon lost 1-2 to Ulsan HD FC on the 15th. Kim Min-jun scored the opening goal against his former team Ulsan to take the lead, but conceded to Yago and Lee Dong-gyeong and left disappointed.
With this, Bucheon has earned 4 points in 3 matches and sits in fifth place. As a promoted team, they faced last season's champion Jeonbuk in their first match, and met strong teams Daejeon and Ulsan, but by playing Bucheon's own football they have recorded 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
The opponent this match is Gangwon, meeting again for the first time in 10 years since they faced each other in the league in 2016. Bucheon has played 13 matches against Gangwon, leading the head-to-head with 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.
Bucheon plans to prepare the final match of a 'home three-game stretch' led by players from Gangwon. Gallego, who has 3 goals and 1 assist and ranks first in K League 1 attack points, and Kim Min-jun, who gained confidence by scoring the opening goal in the last Ulsan match, are both from Gangwon.
Coach Lee Young-min said, "Although we lost to Ulsan, we gained a lot," and added, "I will make sure the players have confidence so they can show our football on the field."
