Jeju SK and Daegu FC meet on the single-tree bridge.
Jeju and Daegu are set to play the 37th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. They faced each other on the edge of the cliff. It is a game that can determine the direction of this season between the two teams, who have to get out of the danger of direct relegation.
The same is true of the desperation before the game. There are only three points difference between Jeju, ranked 11th in the promotion playoff (PO), and Daegu, ranked 12th in the automatic relegation zone. The number of cases was simple. If Jeju wins, the difference in points will be six points, and Daegu will finish at the bottom regardless of the final match. On the other hand, if Daegu wins, the number of points is 35 points, but Daegu, which is leading by 44 goals in multiple points, will push Jeju with 38 goals to 12th place. If they can't decide the outcome, both teams will have to bet everything on winning the final game. Both teams have experienced a history of relegation. Daegu will drop to the K League 2 again in 10 years after being demoted in December 2013 and promoted in December 2016. On the other hand, Jeju can experience the bitter taste of relegation for the first time in six years since 2019.
The prevailing atmosphere is Daegu. It's an amazing back seat. Daegu, which has been in the lower ranks since the early and mid-season, took the helm of the team, followed by Park Chang-hyun and acting Seo Dong-won. He also experienced the worst trend of 16 games (6 draws and 10 losses) since May. Everyone expected a demotion. At the time of the 27th round, Daegu had the biggest gap with Anyang, the top-ranked team, with 14 points. It seemed difficult to overcome the double-digit gap. However, the atmosphere has changed since the 28th round. In the next nine games, there were no four wins, four draws and one loss in a row, and there was only one loss. Daegu, which has shown its desperation, seeks a miracle-like turnaround.
Jeju allowed the pursuit without opening the gap. During the nine games when Daegu was on the rise, Jeju won only one game (one draw and seven losses). He seemed to run away again with a victory over Suwon FC (2-1 wins) in the 34th round, but he collapsed again with two consecutive losses. The performance is relatively more stable than Daegu, but the game was decided in concentration. It is important for Jeju to catch Daegu and continue its momentum to the promotion PO, as there is still room to get out of the bottom on its own.
In Jeju, Lee Chang-min is excluded from the best power. Lee Chang-min cannot play in the match against Daegu due to the accumulation of warnings in the last game. In Jeju, Nam Tae-hee and Yuri Jonathan will be in the two-top, and Kim Jun-ha will be in the mid-feather as a manned Kim Jung-min's departure. The defense will be built by Kim Ryun-sung, Song Joo-hoon, Lim Chae-min and Lim Chang-woo, and Kim Dong-joon will wear the goalkeeper's gloves.
Daegu has a large void. King of Daegu'Sesingya falls out. Cesinha, who recently had to miss the game due to a back injury, even took injections to recover to return to the match against Jeju. But my body couldn't keep up. It was judged not to be able to play, and he was not allowed to play on that day. Daegu, without Cesinha, will have Kim Joo-gong and Park Dae-hoon in the front, while Giovanni, Hwang Jae-won, and Kim Jung-hyun, a politician, will participate in the midfield. Kim Hyun-joon, Woo Joo-sung, Kim Kang-san, and Jung Hun-taek are in defense. The goal is protected by Han Tae-hee.
