The hot quest for promotion continues despite the chilly weather. This is the story of the K League 2, with round 34 just around the corner,
Match of the Round – Suwon’s strong defense vs. Anyang’s urgent need for points
Round 34 will see 7th-ranked Suwon (45 points) take on 1st-ranked Anyang (54 points).
The hosts earned a point in their last match, a 1-1 draw against Gyeongnam in Round 33. Suwon have just one win in their last five matches 카지노사이트 추천 and will need a victory to move up the table.
In the last match against Gyeongnam, Kim’s performance stood out. Kim scored the equalizer on his return to the field after nearly three months out with an injury. He also had a goal and an assist against Anyang in the eighth round of the season, so he is expected to have another good performance against the team.
In addition, Suwon’s summer signings such as Milat, Paulinho, and Peter will also be looking to threaten the opposition’s goal from the front line. Suwon, who are aiming for ‘automatic promotion’ this season, will be looking for as many wins as possible in their remaining five regular round matches.
The visitors, Anyang, suffered their first back-to-back defeat of the season when they lost 0-1 to Chungnam Asan in Round 33. Anyang has been at the top of the table all season, but with only three points separating them from second place, they have to be on their toes. Currently, Anyang leads the K League 2 in fewest goals conceded with 31, but they are also fifth in goals scored with 42.
Therefore, the key for Anyang to keep pace with the second-place team and maintain its lead is to increase its scoring power. Anyang had 10 more shots than their opponent in the last 33 rounds, including 17 against Chungnam Asan, but were unable to score.
Therefore, it is important for Anyang to improve their shooting and concentration in front of goal. This season, Anyang’s flexible offense and ability to penetrate have created many chances in every game, and if they can improve their finishing, they will be able to stay at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Suwon and Anyang have met twice this season, with Suwon winning both games 3-1 and 2-1. The third meeting of the season between the two teams will take place on Sunday, June 6 at 5:30 p.m. at Yongin Mir Stadium.
Team of the Round – Gimpo on a winning streak
Gimpo (8th, 43 points) snapped a three-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over Seoul E-Land in Round 33 in midweek. Bruno and Jang Yoon-ho scored back-to-back goals, while goalkeeper Son Jung-hyun was outstanding, as Gimpo battled through a numerical disadvantage that saw a man sent off in the first half.
In particular, Son Jung-hyun was named the MVP of the round for his brilliant saves, stopping all 12 of the opponent’s shots to help his team to a shutout victory. The match between Gimpo and Seoul E-Land was also named the best match of the round.
Gimpo’s basic pattern this season has been to play a compact line defense followed by a counter-attack, and the team has been diligently racking up points thanks to the finishing ability of its foreign attacking talent, including Lewis (12 goals, 3 assists) and Plana (8 goals, 4 assists).
However, domestic players such as Jeong Chul Jung, Lee Yong-hyeok, and Jang Yun-ho (2 goals each) have been underperforming, and Gimpo hasn’t won in nearly three months since a two-game winning streak in June. Therefore, Gimpo will need to rack up as many points as possible in their remaining matches to move up the standings if they want to make the playoffs for the second straight season.
Meanwhile, Gimpo’s opponent in this round is Chungnam Asan. Gimpo has a narrow advantage against Chungnam Asan this season, with one win and one draw. The third meeting of the season between the two teams will take place on Saturday, May 5 at 4:30 p.m. at the Gimpo Solter Soccer Field.
Player of the Round – Hat-trick explosion by Pesin (Busan)
Busan’s Peshin scored a hat trick against Ansan in Round 33 to lead Busan to a 5-0 victory. The victory extended Busan’s unbeaten streak to seven matches (5 wins, 2 draws) and kept them in third place with 49 points.
Brazilian forward Pessin made his K League debut with Busan last season, scoring seven goals and adding two assists in 23 appearances. This season, Pessin has continued to be a mainstay of the team with 29 appearances, and his goal against Ansan came nearly two months after his last goal in the 24th round against Gyeongnam.
With eight goals and five assists this season, Pesin has already surpassed his tally from last season and is currently ranked 10th on the K League 2’s all-time offensive points list. Pesin will continue to rack up offensive points to improve both his personal record and Busan’s ranking.
Meanwhile, Busan’s opponent in this round is Seoul E-Land (4th place, 48 points). The two teams are separated by only one point, so this match could change the standings. Busan has been particularly weak against Seoul E-Land this season, losing both of their previous meetings, and will be looking for a win in this matchup. The third meeting of the season between the two teams will take place on Saturday, May 5 at 4:30 p.m. at Busan Gudeok Stadium.
