Two teams in opposite situations meet in the final round.
Incheon United and Jeonbuk Hyundai will have a showdown at the Incheon Football Stadium at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. It is the 33rd round, the last round of the regular season of the Hana Bank K-League 2024.
Incheon and Gangwon are in the opposite mood. Incheon has only 32 points (7 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses), ranking lowest in the league after Daegu ranked 10th and Daejeon ranked 11th (35 points).
On the other hand, Gangwon Province has scored 52 points (15 wins, seven draws and 10 losses), ranking third after Ulsan HD (58 points), ranking first, and Gimcheon Sangmu (56 points). As the team is only six points shorter than the top-ranked Ulsan team, it can also seek to win the league title.
Incheon has failed to escape from the bottom of the league by garnering only one point without winning the last four games. The mood urgently needs a rebound. The match against Gangwon Province, the last home game of the regular season league, will likely be an important watershed to spark a fierce battle for the relegation zone.
Incheon lost in both games against Gangwon in this season. The team is committed to avoiding direct demotion by adding three more points in the last game.
The first part that Incheon needs to deal with is its offense power. Gersault, who had no goals in three consecutive games in recent weeks, showed threatening movements by playing fastball, but failed to finish the game in the end, leaving much to be desired. 메이저놀이터
After losing 0-1 against the Pohang Steelers on the 27th of last month, Incheon coach Choi Young-geun vowed to win the match against Gangwon, saying, “We need to keep the players in order not to get tired. Since there are not many opportunities, we will quickly recover psychological pressure and raise the team’s atmosphere.”
Gangwon is at the top of the list, but it’s not just comfortable. Its last win in the league was against Gwangju FC (3-2 win) on Aug. 18, which was followed by a 0-2 loss to FC Seoul and a 2-2 draw with Suwon FC. It was followed by an 0-2 loss in away games in Ulsan and a 1-2 loss against Pohang. The previous match, against Daegu, was tied 1-1.
As the team has to continue its race to win in the top-ranked split, the team should use this showdown to refresh the mood. “I will focus on recovery and then prepare for the match against Incheon,” Gangwon coach Yoon Jeong-hwan said after the match against Daegu last time. As it is the last match before the final round, he will bring three points. The team has failed to win in five consecutive games due to lack of capacity and capacity as a coach. The players are doing well. I will find a way to win,” Gangwon coach Yoon Jeong-hwan said after the match.
Meanwhile, Incheon and Gangwon have recorded four wins, three draws and three losses in the 10 games they have recently met, with Incheon leading slightly.
