The starting lineups for K League 1's Incheon United and Kim Cheon (SVP) have been released.

Incheon and Gimcheon will face off at 7:30 p.m. on the 16th at Incheon Football Stadium in Round 23 of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 season.

Under head coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, the home team Incheon will deploy a 4-4-2 formation with Lee Chung-yong and Ferrier leading the attack, while Jerso and Lee Dong-ryul occupy both flanks.

Lee Myung-joo and Seo Jae-min will operate in midfield, with Lee Ju-yong, Juan Ibiña, Kim Geon-hee, and Kim Myeong-soon forming the defensive line. Kim Dong-heon is the goalkeeper.

Lee Dong-ryul's return to the starting lineup comes after four matches since his last start against Jeonbuk on the 18th. Ferrier, who was excluded from the starting lineup in the previous match against Jeju SK, also returns to the starting XI.

The bench includes Mu Go-sa, Kim Young-hwan, Jeong Chi-in, Kim Sung-min, Iker, Park Kyung-seop, Choi Seung-gu, Lee Sang-gi, and Lee Tae-hee (GK).

Recently signed foreign striker Leandro will not participate in today's match due to pending administrative procedures for player registration.

In response, Gimcheon has made significant changes to its starting lineup.

Centered around Jung Jae-min, Kim Ju-chan and Go Jae-hyun are expected to form the attacking line, while Park Tae-jun, Lee Kang-hyun, and Kim I-seok will build the midfield.

Park Cheol-woo, Lee Jeong-taek, Byun Jun-soo, and Kim Tae-hwan will occupy the back four, with Baek Jong-beom as the goalkeeper.

Lee Geon-hee, Kim In-gyun, Jeon Byeong-gwan, Hong Yoon-sang, Park Se-jin, Lee Soobin, Hong Si-hoo, Im Deok-geun, and Moon Hyun-ho (GK) are prepared for substitute appearances. Notably, Hong Yoon-sang and Park Se-jin, who have consistently started in recent matches, have been moved to the bench.

Meanwhile, Incheon, having played one or two fewer games than other teams, sits eighth with 29 points (8 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses), while Gimcheon is tenth with 24 points (4 wins, 12 draws, 6 losses). In their two previous meetings in April and May, Incheon won both matches, 2-1 and 3-0 respectively.
