Jeonbuk Hyundai and Jeju United, which have survived with defensive stability, will face off.
Jeonbuk Hyundai and Jeju United will face each other in the 32nd round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 28th.
Jeonbuk ranks 10th with 8 wins, 10 draws, 13 losses and 34 points, while Jeju ranks 8th with 12 wins, 2 draws, 17 losses and 38 points.
The K League 1, which introduced the split system, will have 33 regular rounds and the 1st to 6th place will be divided into Final A and the 7th to 12th place will be divided into Final B. After that, each split will have a showdown (a total of five games) per team, and the final ranking will be determined.
This season, all participating teams in Final A and B have been confirmed with only 31 rounds, which have not been completed until the 33rd round of the regular season.
With up to three of the six Final B teams facing relegation to the second division (K League 2), seventh-ranked Gwangju FC (40 points), eighth-ranked Jeju FC (38 points), ninth-ranked Daejeon Hana Citizen (35 points), 10th-ranked Jeonbuk FC, 11th-ranked Daegu FC (34 points), and lowest-ranked Incheon United FC (32 points) are crowded with eight points. There is a thin ice sheet where no team can be sure of staying.
Jeonbuk will meet Daegu in succession after Jeju. It is time to accumulate points for the last time before the split round. The same goes for Jeju. Jeju will meet Jeonbuk and Daejeon, which are lower in the ranking.
Jeonbuk has recorded three wins and two draws in its last five games. While preparing to upgrade its ranking, the team has been producing more stable results than expected. In particular, stability of defense is the best. The central defense of Hong Jeong-ho and Park Jin-seop, and the side defense of Ahn Hyun-bum and Kim Tae-hyun showed stable performance and allowed only one run during five games.
If the offense that scored six goals against Suwon FC rises again, it will be able to challenge Jeju to win. Although Song Min-gyu is uncertain to play due to his injury, Lee Seung-woo, rookie Jeon Byeong-kwan and foreign player Hernandez are waiting for his participation at any time. If he constantly harasses his condition based on his fast speed, he will be able to score many points. 토토사이트
Jeju Island is also continuing its efforts to escape from a slump. It won 2-0 away games against Gwangju last time. It was a scoreless victory. Lim Chae-min showed a stable defense as he returned. The problem is attack. Jeju drove Gwangju through active player replacement and scored two goals.
In the 21st minute of the second half, Kai-na scored her K League 1 debut goal and Seo Jin-soo ended the victory with a wedge goal. Hakbumson’s winning move was effective. In the 14th minute of the second half, Han Jong-moo, Gallego and Hayes were excluded, and Lee Hae-ro, Kim Joo-gong and Seo Jin-soo were replaced. As Lee Hae-ro was deployed as the first cordon, Kai-na moved to the front and the attack became more cohesive. Kim Hak-beom’s calculation of betting on the second half was right.
Both Jeonbuk and Jeju are making a turnaround by stabilizing their defense lines. They will face off ahead of the final round. The winner will receive three or more points.
