Ah, Gangwon FC and FC Seoul, two teams that seem to play hide and seek when we're talking about a solid win-loss record. See folks, the past match-ups between these beautiful teams give you a whiff of a Seoul-ful dominance. But then, time, much like my ex-wife's love for me, changes everything.
Gangwon FC is the pundits' darling for this particular match, getting a notch in spread favoritism. Now, you might wonder why Gangwon is favored when their performance is as inconsistent as a weather forecast. Don't look at me; I don't make the rules.
The regular season record, which is akin to a high school report card for these teams, is a slight tilt towards Gangwon FC. Like a majority advise kids, "Stay consistent!" it seems Gangwon FC applied the lesson a touch better than FC Seoul.
You glance at the recent results; aside from the blip against Ulsan HD and soaked a bit of humidity against Pohang Steelers, Gangwon FC kinda looks more impressive. On the other hand, the FC Seoul folks experienced some Seoul-crushing losses and draws. If recent games were a cake, FC Seoul seems to be leaving it half-eaten.
The final bet? I'd say Gangwon FC by a thin margin. Perhaps some drying paint would add more thrill to this game, but here's hoping.
