1.80Tip and bets
The hosts have not beaten Seoul in personal meetings for a long time, but now is a great opportunity to break this streak. The team can still fight for the championship, but to do so, they need to win every match. The visitors had a hard time gaining points at the end of the regular season, so it is difficult to expect success from them in the first match of the new stage of the championship. We believe that the hosts have a better chance of success.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Gangwon for 1.70
