Just look at this matchup - Gangwon FC against Ulsan HD. Now, Ulsan HD has been showing some impressive form recently; they've gotten away with wins in 3 out of their last 5 encounters, let's say they're in a bit of a groove. Meanwhile, Gangwon FC... well, let's just say they're a bit up and down, with a recent 4-0 loss to Gimcheon Sangmu FC that I'm sure they'd rather forget.
When we step into the time machine and take a gander at past encounters, it doesn't help Gangwon much, does it? Out of the last five games, Ulsan HD has won 3, Gangwon FC won 1, with the latest encounter surprisingly favoring Gangwon. But let's face it, a single victory doesn't erase the harsh reality of previous defeats.
Now, I know you're all smart folks, you don't need me to tell you that regular season records matter. Ulsan HD with 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses surely carry more weight than Gangwon FC's 5 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses. Looks a bit bleak for Gangwon, eh?
So where does this leave us? Well, dear listeners, considering the recent form of both teams, Ulsan HD's superiority in past encounters, and their better record in the regular season... one would reasonably assume an Ulsan HD victory, with a narrow escape of perhaps a single goal difference.
