Jeju United is also a candidate for relegation if it is in the current state.
As of the end of the 30th round, Jeju is ranked eighth in the K League 1 with 35 points. If you look at the rankings, it seems that Jeju remains stable, but the reality is not.
Below Jeju Island are Daejeon Hana Citizen (34 points), Jeonbuk Hyundai, Daegu FC (33 points), and Incheon Yunite (31 points). If Jeju plays just one or two games, Jeju can fall to the relegation zone.
Given recent trends, Jeju Island is in danger. The team has been sluggish in five games, with one win and four losses. In the last round, the team suffered a crushing defeat of 0-4 to Daegu, which was in the lower ranks. It was like a déjà vu in the 28th round, when it lost 0-5 to Suwon FC.
The problem lies in defense, but the team’s offense is also a headache. Jeju has only one goal in the last five games. It scored at a match against Sangmu in Gimcheon in the 29th round, and had no goal in the other four games. If the team’s offense is weak, it should at least play good defense, but it has failed to secure a draw. This is why it has difficulty in managing the points.
Daejeon, Jeonbuk, and Daegu, which are in the lower ranks, have all been on the rise recently. With the current trend, Jeju is likely to fall to the relegation zone within one or two games.
Worse yet, Jeju’s 31st round opponent is Gwangju FC. Gwangju defeated Yokohama Marinos (Japan) 7-3 in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) in China. The team successfully made its debut in Asia with overwhelming firepower. In addition, Jeju met Gwangju twice this season and lost in both games. The team is lagging behind the rival team in Sangseong. If the team loses to Gwangju, the team should be concerned about falling into the relegation zone. 먹튀검증
Jeju remained at the bottom of the league in 2019 and experienced the humiliation of being demoted to the second division. The current flow is not much different from then. Amid the all-time relegation battle, Jeju may become a scapegoat.
After the match against Gwangju, Jeju will face Jeonbuk and Daejeon. If the team fails to make a turnaround in the match against Gwangju, a bad trend may continue. We need to change the atmosphere to catch the two games that require all or nothing.
