"He's more passionate than Kimpo, so he can win."

This is what Bucheon FC coach Lee Young-min said.

Bucheon FC will play a home game against Gimpo FC 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Bucheon Stadium on the 13th. Bucheon has won four consecutive league games recently. If he wins the game, he will achieve his fifth consecutive league victory in 2,074 days since 2019. If the results of the quarterfinals of the Hana Bank Korea Cup in 2025 are added, it will reach the milestone of six consecutive wins for the first time in the club's history. Bucheon is undefeated in the last seven league games (5 wins and 2 draws) against Gimpo. The team also beat Gimpo 3-1 in the quarterfinals of the Korea Cup on the 2nd.




Ahead of the showdown, coach Lee said, `Kimpo is one of the awkward and tricky teams. You really have to pay a lot of attention to Gimpo. I really care a lot. I train while thinking about how to respond. If the players are a little lazy against Gimpo, they will never win. He said, "I can win because I am more passionate than Gimpo."

Bucheon utilizes 3-4-3 tactics. Gallego and Basani lead the attack with Gong Min-hyun at the center. The midfield will be coordinated by Jang Si-young, Park Hyun-bin, Kaz, and Tia Gingyo. Baek Dong-gyu, Lee Sang-hyuk, and Jung Ho-jin are in charge of defense. Kim Hyung-geun protects the goal.

Gimpo's rise, led by head coach Ko Jung-woon, is also not easy. He has recorded three wins and two draws in the last five games. He also showed his strength in a 1-1 draw against No. 1 Incheon United.




Before the game, coach Koh said, `I think Bucheon is the best out of the 14 teams in the K League 2 (division 2). be stable in the airlift. Director Lee Young-min made it well"It wasn't bad for us against Bucheon. I had a hard time because I didn't score. There are a lot of wing forward injuries. He said, "I only joined the rental player for two days, but I started it as a starter."

Gimpo is a 3-5-2 formation. Jegal Jae-min and Jung Woo-bin will play as two-top players. Yoon Jae-woon Choi Jae-hoon Kim Gyeol, Dijuma, and Lee Sang-min are located at the waist. Lee Chan-hyung, Chapman, and Kim Dong-min are located in the three-back. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Son Jung-hyun.

Coach Ko said, `Jegal Jae-min and Kim Gyeol played well just before. You have to give it a chance. We should have a plan B in the second half. The squad is not that good. It would be nice if there were only Plana, Cho Sung-joon, etc. Hong Si-woo also has a hamstring injury as soon as he arrives. There are a lot of injured players."
