Two solid, pragmatic set-ups could produce a tight match
Gimcheon Sangmu FC are placed fourth in K-League 1 2025 with 24 points from 15 matches and have the experience to play in the upper half of the table again in 2025. Jeong-Yong Jung has done a terrific job since taking over at the helm in May 2023, instilling discipline and a defensive mentality in his players.
The Soldiers have won just one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches in all competitions and are coming off two difficult results, losing 3-2 away to Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i and being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Jeju United. The draw against Jeju is particularly relevant for our Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Suwon City prediction, as it leaves them needing to bounce back with a win on Sunday and they could do with picking up where they left off in their last home game.
Dong-Gyeong Lee powers the home side’s attack, scoring six league goals in 15 games to be their main goal threat. Suwon FC’s Anderson Oliveira has scored five times in 15 games to be their top-scorer, netting 3 out of Suwon's last 5 league goals.
Betting angles point to another draw or narrow home win
Eun-Jung Kim took over at Suwon FC in December 2023 and has made them very stubborn to play against with a deep defensive block. This has made them very hard to break down, but also less potent going forward. Oliveira has been on fire recently, but Suwon are still languishing 10th in the K-League 1 2025 after picking up 15 points from their first 15 matches.
For those interested in the Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Suwon City betting tips, it is important to consider that they are struggling in the bottom half and really need to pick up some momentum in the coming weeks if they are to make a push for the playoffs. Suwon have drawn their two most recent games, including a tough 1-1 away draw against FC Seoul, but still haven’t won away from home this season.
This Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Suwon City preview highlights how these two sides have split the spoils in their two K-League 1 2025 meetings so far, with Suwon picking up a 3-2 victory at home six weeks ago. Both teams will need to be in their best form to win this one, as neither side is in the best of form, so the Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Suwon City prediction is for a close chess match rather than a goal fest on Sunday.
