"First Goal After Transfer" Jeonbuk Lee Seung-woo Will Open Daejeon Goal...Big Bang, the relegation zone, is undefeated

Blog Article

Both Daejeon Hana Citizen and Jeonbuk Hyundai, which have been on the rise due to their undefeated performances, will have a showdown of fate to escape from the lower ranks of the K League 1. Masatoshi Ishida (Daejeon) and Lee Seung-woo (Jeonbuk), who lead both teams' offense, will have a showdown on their toes.

Daejeon and Jeonbuk will hold round 31 of K League 1 2024 at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are ranked ninth (34 points) and 10th (33 points), respectively. In addition, since there is not much difference with Daegu FC (33 points), which ranks 11th, and Incheon United (31 points), the lowest, the relegation zone is expected to be outlined through this round.

It is also drawing attention as a meeting between clubs that have not lost recently. Daejeon won 3-2 in an away match against FC Seoul in the 30th round, extending its unbeaten record to six games (4 wins and 2 draws). Seoul won five consecutive games for the first time in eight years since the 2016 season last month, but its momentum was dampened by Daejeon following the draw (0-0) against Jeonbuk on the 1st. Daejeon's secret to victory is its hot attack, which has scored 12 goals in six games. Martha, who returned to her old team in June, has been active in the last seven games with three goals and three assists. On top of that, Lee Soon-min and Bob Shin will help in the midfield, while Choi Geon-ju and Kim Seung-dae will help from the side.

If he defeats Jeonbuk, he will have his first three consecutive wins this season. "I am scoring a lot of goals through counterattacks through strong pressure," Daejeon coach Hwang Sun-hong said after the match against Seoul. "If I attack calmly, I will be able to make such scenes more often," adding, "I am leading the team with the desperation that it is the last game of every game as it is a very fierce season."

Jeonbuk, which defeated Suwon FC 6-0, also did not lose for the past month (3 wins and 1 draw). Andrigo Arauju, who scored one goal and two assists in the match against Suwon FC on the 14th, was selected as the MVP of the 30th round, and Lee Seung-woo scored his first goal after moving to Jeonbuk against his former team Suwon FC. The central defender, paired with Park Jin-seop and Hong Jung-ho, also allowed only one run in four games.

Jeonbuk has led Daejeon by four wins, five draws and one loss in its last 10 matches, but it has tied the score in all two matches this season. The team should win to recover from its disgraceful decline to the Final B (7th-12th) for the first time since the Split League was introduced in 2012. Jeonbuk coach Kim Doo-hyun said, "I am constantly improving. I look forward to the next match," while Lee Seung-woo also stressed, "I feel very hurt because Jeonbuk is ranked 10th. I will win all the remaining matches to gain an advantageous position."

'6 consecutive losses' Pohang desperately needs Taeha drama...Gangwon Struggles to Lead Competition
The Pohang Steelers, who have been mired in a six-game losing streak in the K League 1, are dreaming of a change of atmosphere at the expense of Gangwon FC, which has slowed down. Victory is desperately needed to rekindle the race for the lead in Gangwon Province.

Pohang will face Gangwon at 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd at Pohang Steelyard. It beat Jeju United in the semifinals of the Korea Cup on the 28th of last month to reach the final for the second consecutive year, but lost six games in the K League 1. In an away match against Shanghai Shenhua in the first leg of the 2024-25 Asian Champions League (ACLE) league stage on the 17th, it failed to keep Giorgi Lewis' first score and was completely defeated 1-4.

Failure to turn the situation around will also jeopardize the sixth place, which is the last place in Final A. With 44 points, Pohang is four points adrift of Gwangju FC, which is ranked seventh. The team lost 1-2 to Gwangju FC in the 30th round on July 13, which further narrowed the gap. Another cause of concern is that the team is carrying out a tight schedule such as the Korea Cup and ACL. "We are taking six consecutive losses seriously. Everything is the coach's responsibility. We will definitely win the match against Gangwon FC," Pohang coach Park Tae-ha said.

Gangwon (51 points) will kneel down 0-2 against Ulsan HD (54 points) on Wednesday, taking away the No. 1 spot. However, it is still a three-point gap, so it is possible to catch up. After losing four consecutive games against Seoul (0-2) in the 28th round on April 24, the team should cut off the trend of not winning the match. 먹튀검증

Hwang Moon-ki and Yang Min-hyuk, who were substituted for the national team in the last match, will start against Pohang. "I was outpaced by individual performance. I needed more challenging plays in the side. This is our team's biggest weakness," Gangwon coach Yoon Jung-hwan said after the match against Ulsan. "We still have eight games to go. We will prepare again."

Gwangju of advance, aiming for Final A with foreign firepower
Gwangju is aiming for Final A with a triangular formation of foreigners.

Gwangju will face Jeju Island at the Gwangju Football Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Gwangju ranks seventh (40 points) and Jeju eighth (35 points), but the latter has won three consecutive games in recent matches. In the last round, Gwangju lost 2-1 to Pohang and Jeju lost 0-4 to Daegu, showing mixed feelings. This is why Gwangju is expected to prevail.
Gwangju met Yokohama Marinos, the runner-up of the last tournament, and scored seven goals at the ACLE, which was first played on the 17th. Foreign strikers' performance was remarkable. Jasir Asani scored a hat trick, and Gabriel Tigran and Becca Mikkeltase also scored goals. With only three games left until the final round of the K League 1, we need to win against Jeju to turn around Pohang, which is ranked sixth.

The problem is defense. Gwangju lost six straight games through the 29th round (0-2 loss) against Daejeon on Saturday. Side defenders Lee Min-ki and Kim Jin-ho must stop Jeju strikers Nam Tae-hee and Hayes to bring the team closer to victory. Jeju (35 points), which is two points behind Jeonbuk in the 10th place, is also expected to make all-out efforts to avoid being eliminated.
