Korean Vocational Union: Jeonbuk Hyundai vs Daejeon Citizens
Jeonbuk Hyundai
Jeonbuk Hyundai's performance in the league last season was a little stretched, perhaps due to their dissatisfaction with their own results, Jeonbuk was not idle at all after the season, the team not only attacked the city in the AFC Champions League, they also actively participated in various friendly matches to temper. In the second leg of the AFC Champions League knockout round, Jeonbuk Hyundai drew 1-1 with Pohang Steelers, and with the two-goal advantage established in the first leg, Jeonbuk not only completed the promotion safely, but also avenged the defeat to Pohang in the Korean FA Cup final last year. So far, Jeonbuk Hyundai has been unbeaten in 4 consecutive games in all competitions (3 wins and 1 draw), including friendly matches, and the overall form seems to be quite good.
Citizens of Daejeon
Daejeon Citizens were in good form at the end of the season last season, and they ended up eighth in the regular season of the Korean Professional League, and they were able to play steadily in the relegation group and successfully relegated. It should be noted that the team has very little off-season activity, and in the games that can be checked, they played two warm-up matches against Vietnam and Indonesia in January, and the team still hasn't been trained for more than a month. Combined with the overall performance of last season, Daejeon Citizens has a certain amount of firepower on the offensive end, but its back line problems are also relatively prominent.
Synthesis ยท Analysis
The two sides have faced each other in the past 6 times, and Jeonbuk Hyundai has the upper hand with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Jeonbuk Hyundai had a relatively stable home stadium despite their overall performance last season, and the team's recent elimination of Pohang Steelers in the AFC Champions League to complete the promotion should have nourished their competitive form and morale. Daejeon Citizens are not very competitive in the Korean Professional League, they were relegated in the final stage of last season with a wave of momentum, but they did not have much activity in the off-season, and it is difficult to know their current competitive status. Combined with the comprehensive situation of both sides, this game can get off to a good start.
