'Confirmed to remain' Seoul will start Na Sang-ho

FC Seoul, which has confirmed its stay in the K League 1, and Gangwon FC, which is in urgent need of escaping from the relegation zone, have unveiled their starting list for the fourth time of the season.

Seoul will face Gangwon FC in the 34th round of Hana One-Q K League 1 2023 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 22nd. Currently, Seoul is in seventh place with 12 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses and 47 points. Gangwon remains in 11th place with 4 wins, 14 draws and 15 losses and 26 points.

Entering the final round, Seoul confirmed its stay in the first division regardless of the results of the remaining games. This is because the ranking is not reversed even if Suwon FC wins all the remaining five games because the difference between points from Suwon FC (31 points), the Maginot Line of the promotion and playoff, is 16 points.

On the other hand, Gangwon desperately needs to win this game. It is only one point ahead of Suwon Samsung, the lowest, which is relegated to Direct, so we cannot rest assured. To get out of the playoffs, they need to beat Jeju United, which is nine points ahead. Gangwon needs three points unconditionally.

Ahead of the game, the list of selections for both teams was released.

Seoul, the home team, will play 4-4-2. Baek Jong-beom protects the goal and Lee Si-young, Kim Joo-sung, Osmar, and Park Soo-il form the defensive line. Ki Sung-yueng, Palosevic, Na Sang-ho and Iesch will form the midfield, and Willian will start as a front-line striker along with Han Seung-gyu. 스포츠토토

Against this backdrop, away team Gangwon pulled out 4-3-3. Lee Kwang-yeon, who returned with the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, wears goalkeeper gloves. Hwang Moon-ki, Kim Young-bin, Lee Ji-sol and Yoon Seok-young will take charge of defense. Seo Min-woo, Han Kook-young and Lee Seung-won will work together in the midfield, while Yoon Il-rok, Gabriel and Kim Dae-won will come out as three tops to score.

This season, the two teams will face off with one win, one draw and one loss. Gangwon laughed in their first showdown of the season. It won Seoul 3-2 at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon. In their second showdown, Seoul succeeded in avenging them. Willian scored the winning goal to win 1-0 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. In the third face-to-face match held at Gangneung Stadium, they tied 1-1 well.

Seoul is relatively less motivated than Gangwon in the face of the fourth face-. However, we cannot give up points to Gangwon even if we want to feel sorry for failing to advance to the top split (Final A). As I said earlier, Gangwon will hunt for points to escape the relegation.
