It's a clash between Ulsan HD and Jeju SK, which are trying to win their fourth consecutive K League 1 title. The two teams will play the fourth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at Munsu Football Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 9th.

Ulsan's goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo, who missed three consecutive games since the opening of the K League 1 due to a broken nose, was listed in the starting lineup. He collapsed in Game 7 of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage against Buriram United on the 12th of last month. Buriram striker Martin Boakier hit Cho Hyun-woo in the face with his knee. Cho Hyun-woo's nose bone was fractured after a detailed examination.

He missed the home opener against Anyang FC, Daejeon Hana Citizen, and Jeonbuk Hyundai. Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said after Cho Hyun-woo's injury that `I will wait until I feel comfortable, until I say I can come out.'




The Jeju pancake is D-Day. Coach Kim said "I can do it through team training." I could have put it in faster, but I decided I should look at it for a long time. Masks are comfortable, tooHe said so. The defense will feel more reassuring as well." Cho will compete in a face shield.

As for his opponent Jeju, head coach Kim felt "As expected "Hakbumson". It's been better this year. The number is 'Mansu'. I wonder how it will turn out today." And "I asked the players to keep their current positions well. Of course, he told me to talk as if I won"Less points compared to form." I hope we get a lot of goalsIt also emphasized ".

Ulsan lost 0-1 to Anyang on the 16th of last month, but won 2-0 against Daejeon and 1-0 against Jeonbuk. In the match against Jeju, he will try to win three consecutive games.




The most prominent player is also 'Moonsoo Zidane'Boyanich. Boyanich was on the waiting list against Anyang, but he failed to participate. Later, he helped Yoon Jae-seok and Heo Yul's goals in an away match in Daejeon, and scored Rubixson's pass with a powerful right-footed mid-range shot in the 20th minute of the second half against Jeonbuk, giving him three points. He is responsible for Ulsan's offense with three offensive points (1 goal, 2 assists) in two games, as well as creative passes and a sense of soccer.

Coach Kim said, `Boyanichi has what other players don't have. The advantages are showing up and are commercially available" but "What's worrisome is the opponent's checks. We have to overcome this now," he stressed.

Jeju currently has one win, one draw and one loss. He beat FC Seoul 2-0 in the first round, but lost to Gimcheon Sangmu 2-3. In the last round, they tied Gangwon FC without scoring.




Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom said, `Ulsan is very good in composition and has excellent tempo. I don't know how it will unfold. I think I'll have to stick to itAfter hiding his claws "There is not much meaning in the first goal. I don't think it's a one-goal battle either. I think I'm going to make three or four goals."
