FC Seoul Looks to Bounce Back in Gyeongin Derby Against Incheon United

FC Seoul will be aiming to bounce back from their Round 1 defeat as they prepare to face Incheon United in the Gyeongin Derby this Sunday. Despite the disappointing start, FC Seoul’s manager Kim Gi-dong and captain Ki Sung-yeung are both confident of a turnaround in their home opener.

With only three shots on target out of 10 and a lackluster crossing accuracy of 32.14% in the previous match, FC Seoul will need to improve their performance to secure their first points of the season.
