On August 10th at 6:30 PM, Jeju United will host Incheon United in the 26th round of the K1 League.
Jeju United, the home team, defeated the defending champions Ulsan Hyundai in their last match, continuing their strong performance at home. The team has become a “home dragon” this season and they are looking to achieve five consecutive home wins. Looking back at their history, they have only had two “five consecutive home wins” records.
During the summer transfer window, the team brought in Nam Tae-hee, known as the “Korean Messi” to fans in the Middle East. However, he still needs some time to integrate into the team. On the eve of the summer transfer window closing, the team’s defensive stalwart Yeon Je-woon was acquired by Jeonbuk Hyundai for a hefty sum. Fortunately, another center-back, Song Joo-hoon, has recovered from injury and is likely to return in this match. However, the defensive core, Lim Chae-min, will continue to miss out due to injury. It is expected that Im Chang-woo will partner with Song Joo-hoon in the center-back position. Additionally, veteran Koo Ja-cheol has sustained another injury, while other veterans like Choi Young-joon are still undergoing rehabilitation.
During the break, Jeju United head coach Kim Hak-bum took the team to Pyeongchang for a short training camp. The team has brought in several offensive players recently and utilized this time to refine their attack.
The visiting Incheon United lost the “Gyeonggi-Incheon Derby” in their last match, suffering a three-game losing streak across all competitions. New coach Choi Yong-geun has taken over and his tactical philosophy is different from his predecessor, favoring high pressing and prioritizing attack. With only a week in charge, it remains a question mark whether new manager Choi Yong-geun will continue the previous three-back defensive approach or make a drastic change to a four-back system.
In terms of personnel, winger Jerso is making good progress with his injury recovery, but he can only train individually and cannot participate in team training, making it highly likely he will miss the match against his former club. Midfielder Moon Ji-hwan is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and will definitely be absent from the game. Another midfielder, Kim Do-hyeok, is also recovering from injury. The good news is that striker Park Seung-ho has recovered from injury and is in line to make a comeback.
