Gangwon vs Phnom Penh Crown prediction

Gangwon FC opened their AFC Champions League Two Group H campaign with a 0-0 draw away to Kitchee, and they return to Gangneung High1 Arena on Thursday, 15 October chasing a first win in the competition this season. Phnom Penh Crown arrive after a 2-1 win over Kuching City in their opener, with Moses Dyer scoring an injury-time winner, so this is no walkover. The lean toward a Gangwon win rests on home ground and recent domestic form. Gangwon beat Bucheon 2-0 at Gangneung with two second-half goals, a win that reports say lifted them to third in K League 1. Chung also said the weekend league game against Incheon is very important because it decides whether Gangwon reach Final A, though he stressed the ACL2 cannot be neglected and the goal is to get through the group. He said he will pick a team considering the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. A published expected lineup names Cheong-Hyo in goal and Sekidika and Gun-Hee up front, but it is unconfirmed. Phnom Penh coach Oleg Starynskyi has said he wants to take a victory back to Cambodia. The thing to watch is the confirmed team sheet: how much Gangwon rotate with the Incheon game looming would most change this picture.
