Jeonbuk, which has forgotten defeat, and Jeju, which has forgotten how to win
Blog Article
Jeonbuk has seven wins and three draws in its latest 10 matches. Including the victory in two matches at the Korea Cup, it has been undefeated in 12 matches. Since its 0-1 loss to Gangwon FC on March 9, Jeonbuk has had no loss at all in the K-League 1. It has 20 points and 11 goals in 14 matches in the league. It ranks second in the K-League in terms of multiple goals scored, and has the fewest goals scored in the K-League 1. Notably, it had 16 points and five goals in 10 matches that it has had undefeated in the league recently. It has allowed no points in five of its 10 matches. Notably, Jeon Jin-woo is the lone scorer with 10 goals in 14 matches in the league, including three consecutive matches.
Jeonbuk has strong offense and solid defense, whereas Jeju has poor offense and unstable defense. It has 13 points and 21 points in 14 games. It has less than one goal per game, and the number of lost goals is the largest in the K League 1 after Daegu FC (22 points). Team Korea also lost four consecutive games, but ended its losing streak by narrowly tying with Gimcheon Sangmu 1-1 in the 14th round, but has had no win in the last five games.
If Jeonbuk beats Jeju, it can rise to the top of the league. Of course, if Daejeon Hana Citizen wins on the 24th, it could be the one-day No. 1, but for Jeonbuk, the middle-ranked No. 1 is in four years and 1266 days, which is a new feeling. Jeonbuk has been on a downward spiral since winning the 2021 K League 1 championship, and eventually suffered the humiliation of playing the promotion and playoffs by falling to 10th place last season. Even if Daejeon loses or wins, if it falls behind Jeonbuk in multiple points, Jeonbuk can lead the way alone.
"When switching from defense to offense, Jeonbuk targets its opponent's defense by utilizing its side resources that are strong in speed," said Chung Kyung-koo, a member of the TSG of the Korea Professional Football Association. "We are expected to stage similar attacks this time around." "Jeju has failed to record a win in recent matches due to the absence of a leader who can play a central role in defense and sluggish performance in one-top," said Choi Jae-soo, a TSG member. "However, if the harmony between veteran Nam Tae-hee and young gun and Kim Jun-ha is supported, we can expect to see a change in the home game."
I'm looking forward to a great match: Daegu-Daejeon,
Daejeon, which has to run away from Jeonbuk, which has been chased below the chin, and Daegu FC, which is desperate to escape from the bottom, will face off at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 24th.
Daejeon continued its strides at the beginning of the 2025 season. It continued to win three consecutive games for the first time. However, it had no win in its recent three games, with two draws and one loss. The team suffered a crushing defeat to Jeonbuk in the Korea Cup. The team was completely defeated by FC Seoul in the 13th round, as it only had one shot throughout the entire match even though it was a home game, and suffered a humiliating 0-3 loss to Suwon FC, which was the lowest ranking team in the 14th round. Manager Hwang Sun-hong said, "The first crisis is not so good these days.
Moreover, Daegu desperately needs to change its mood. Daegu is at the bottom of the list with 11 points (three wins, two draws and nine losses). It had one win, one draw and nine losses through the 11th round, and seemed to change its mood by beating Jeju Island, but lost one draw and two games afterward. It had 16 points and 22 points in 14 games. Although it has the mid-range score, it has the largest number of lost goals in the K League 1. Against Daejeon, which currently has the most goals scored (22 goals) in the K League 1, how well Daegu can block will likely determine the outcome of the game.
In the recent game, Daejeon beat Daegu 2-1 despite the bad news that Park Kyu-hyun was sent off.
Can Seoul rebound again.
Seoul beat FC Daegu 1-0 in the last 14 rounds. The team currently ranks seventh with 18 points, which is not as promising as it has, but it has secured a win in eight matches. It has also secured a berth to advance to the finals of the Asian Champions League (ACLE) from 2025 to 26.
In Seoul, Banks scored his K-League debut goal in the 14th round, and Moon Sun-min and Jung Seung-won have been active in the side. In defense, Kim Jin-soo, Kim Joo-sung, Yazan, and Choi Jun are currently ranking second (12 goals) in the K-League 1 with solid organization.
Seoul will face Suwon FC (score point of 14), which is ranked 10th, in the 15th round. The two teams had a 0-0 draw in their first showdown of this season. The second match of this season between Seoul and Suwon FC will take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. 토토사이트
"Seoul's tactics are not expected to be much different from the last game, and how well the players who change from the existing starting list will perform the roles assigned in the stadium will be the key to the game," said Park Dong-hyuk, a member of TSG.
