Jeju SK, which is in desperate need of victory, and Pohang Steelers, who want to maintain their upward trend, will clash.

Jeju and Pohang will play the ninth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 20th.

It is a showdown between Jeju, which has only won one game (two draws and four losses) in the last seven league games, and Pohang, which is undefeated with four wins and two draws in six league games, and two teams showing conflicting atmospheres.




Jeju is struggling. On March 30, he seemed to succeed in changing the atmosphere by winning 1-0 against Suwon FC, but the atmosphere subsided again by finishing the previous three official matches with one draw and two losses. The frustrating attack was hampered by only three goals in the last seven official games. The thing to look forward to is home performance. He has shown that he brings the atmosphere at home (2 wins and 2 losses) rather than away games (2 draws and 2 losses) this season. Once again, a turnaround was desperate at home against Pohang.

Pohang is looking for an opportunity to continue its upward trend. He has lost two consecutive games since the opening, erasing the atmosphere that had been defeated. He went on a six-game unbeaten streak. In the previous four games, they caught Gwangju (3-2 wins), Ulsan (1-0 wins), and Anyang (1-0 wins) and took three wins to gain momentum. As the defensive concentration rebounded, the performance also gained stability. During his unbeaten run, he only allowed six runs. The attackers are also showing explosive power. Starting with Lee Ho-jae, the main striker with four goals, Cho Sang-hyuk, Juningyo, Jorge, and Kang Hyun-je showed their power in the front, and tied for fifth in the team's score (10 goals).

Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom chose the 4-3-3 formation. Yoo In-su's Yuri Jonathan Kim Jun-ha will start as a three-top, while Lee Chang-min, Nam Tae-hee and Kim Gun-woong will be located in the midfield. Kim Ryun-sung, Song Joo-hoon, Lim Chae-min, Ahn Tae-hyun makes a four-back, and Kim Dong-joon wears goalkeeper gloves.




Pohang coach Park Tae-ha will face off in a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Ho-jae and Hong Yoon-sang will be two-top players at the front line, and Shin Kwang-hoon and Oredan Juninho will work together in the midfield. Four Bags will be built by Kang Min-joon, Jeon Min-kwang, Han Hyun-seo, and Lee Tae-seok. Hwang In-jae protects the goal.
