Jeonbuk is on the edge of a cliff. This is the time to protect its pride. This is why we desperately want to win.
Gwangju FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai will play the 38th round of the "Hana One Q K League 1 2024" at Gwangju Football Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 24th, the last game of the season. Jeonbuk is set for the first promotion playoff in the club's history, and Gwangju is relatively relaxed as it has already confirmed its remaining status. Therefore, this game is an important match for Jeonbuk to secure an advantageous position ahead of the promotion playoff, and it is an opportunity for Gwangju to end the game with its home fans.
# What is Jeonbuk's fate?
Jeonbuk Hyundai, the most winning team in the K League 1, has greatly disappointed fans with its unexpected slump this season. Jeonbuk, which is on the verge of going straight to the playoffs for the first time in the club's history, is currently in 10th place with 41 points, and is fiercely competing with Daegu FC with 40 points, just one point behind. If they win this match, they can keep the 10th place, but in the event of a draw or loss, the ranking may be reversed depending on the results of Daegu.
Jeonbuk's sluggish performance since the beginning of the season led to the replacement of coach Dan Petrescu, who urgently took charge of the team and claimed himself as a relief pitcher. Nevertheless, Jeonbuk, which failed to avoid going to the Final B, also recorded a disappointing performance of one win, one draw and two losses in the final round, and eventually made it to the promotion and playoff. For Jeonbuk, this game is an important match to regain its status. Major players such as Lee Seung-woo, Kwon Chang-hoon, and Kim Jin-gyu are in desperate need. In particular, Lee Seung-woo recently scored one goal and one assist to lead his team to victory against Daegu, and Kwon Chang-hoon and Kim Jin-gyu also played decisive roles in offense, helping the team.
The promotion and playoff is by no means an easy challenge for the top-tier teams. Since the introduction of the promotion system in 2013, there have been six cases each of staying in the top-tier teams and being promoted to the second-tier teams. This shows that the promotion and playoff is a big challenge for both teams. If Jeonbuk maintains its 10th position, it will face a physical advantage as it will face a team that has passed the K League 2 semi-playoffs and playoffs. On the other hand, if it falls to 11th place, it will have to face Chungnam Asan, the second-ranked team in the K League, which will be a tougher challenge.
The promotion and playoff schedule is scheduled for away games on Dec. 1 and home games on Dec. 8, which was adjusted in consideration of Jeonbuk's Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League 2 (ACL2) schedule.
# Gwangju FC Say Goodbye to Home Fans for the Last Time of the Season 바카라사이트
Gwangju FC is in a stable position, confirming its stay early this season. This is the final match of the league, and Gwangju is likely to use players who had few chances to play in preparation for the fifth AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) match against Shanghai Shenhua on the 27th. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "I want to say to the players who played in both the Asian Champions League and the league, great work," and expressed his feelings about preparing for the match. He also thanked his fans, adding, "I thank the fans for their support for a season."
Gwangju midfielder Jung Ho-yeon was named the only best-Eleven candidate in the team. He has established himself as a key player in Gwangju, taking charge of the team's midfield throughout the season. He led the team's offense with outstanding game understanding, strong pressure, and accurate passing ability. Jung Ho-yeon's dedicated performance was a decisive contribution to Gwangju's stay in the league and advance to the ACL, and his efforts have been praised by many fans.
Despite its financial difficulties, Gwangju made great achievements by staying in the league and advancing to the AFC Champions League, impressing the fans. This final match will be a special time to share this achievement with home fans.
# Jeonbuk and Daegu Fight for the Last 10th Place
In this round, there will be a battle for the 10th place between Jeonbuk and Daegu. Jeonbuk will play against Gwangju and Daegu against Incheon United, and both teams are risking their lives to win. Jeonbuk will surely win to keep its 10th place and gain an advantageous position in the promotion and playoffs, while Daegu is also dreaming of a come-from-behind victory over Incheon.
Jeonbuk will try to take the lead from the beginning with aggressive tactics in this match. Attacks such as Lee Seung-woo, Kwon Chang-hoon, and Kim Jin-kyu are expected to be the key to destroying Gwangju's defense. In particular, Lee Seung-woo is a player who has shown strong performance in big games, and his performance in this match is expected. Kwon Chang-hoon will also open a way for offense with accurate passes and breakthroughs.
On the other hand, Gwangju has already decided to stay, so there is no big burden, but it is expected to do its best as it is the last game in front of home fans. I am determined to give fans a good game while operating an experimental lineup.
The showdown between Jeonbuk and Gwangju is a significant moment for each team to reach an end and continue its positive momentum for the next season beyond just the league's final games.
