The 1st and 2nd places in the K League 2 (division 2) will have a "head-on collision" for the first time this season.
Incheon United, led by head coach Yoon Jung-hwan, and Jeonnam Dragons, led by head coach Kim Hyun-seok, will face off in the 13th round of "Hana Bank K League 2 2025" at Incheon Football Stadium on the 25th.
Incheon (31 points) has been leading the way by winning seven consecutive games. It has suffered only one loss (10 wins and one draw) in 12 matches. It scored 24 goals and ended up allowing only five goals. It is the second team with the most goals scored and the lowest number of goals lost. As such, the team has outstanding offense and defense balance. Its strength is powerful foreign strikers, consisting of Mugosa (10 goals and three assists) and Jerso (3 goals and four assists) and Barrow (1 goal and two assists).
Incheon is also dominating the second stage through pass plays that utilize the midfielder's center field. Incheon ranks first in this category with 5,565 passes in 12 matches. The number of passes per game is 463.75. The number of passes in the central region is also at the forefront with 3016 passes. With captain Lee Myung-joo at the center, Shin Jin-ho, Moon Ji-hwan and Min Kyung-hyun are contributing.
The upturn of Jeonnam, which is spending its first season under coach Kim, is also not easy. Jeonnam (25 points) is also ranking second with seven wins, four draws and one loss in 12 matches. It has no loss in seven recent matches (five wins and two draws). Above all, South Jeolla Province had 10 consecutive away matches since the season's opening, and achieved better-than-expected results by garnering five wins, four draws and one loss. After returning to their home ground, they successfully achieved two consecutive wins.
Although Valdivia has the largest number of goals in his team, he has even scored 10 goals. Moreover, Valdivia, a key midfielder, returned to the team after four matches in the 12th round match against Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province (4-1 win) and scored the first goal.
Even without Valdivia, South Jeolla Province has been able to withstand it thanks to domestic strikers such as Jeong Kang-min, Kim Do-yoon, and Jeong Ji-yong. For South Jeolla Province, joining Valdivia, which not only has decisive power but also has the ability to assist, is a welcome addition. 메이저놀이터
The first face-off between the two teams is expected to serve as a "fountain spirit" for the future lead fight ahead of the end of the first round robin. If Incheon wins, it can widen the gap and further solidify its dominance. On the contrary, if Jeonnam overpowers Incheon, the battle for the lead can be reorganized.
