The action continues in round 18 of the South Korean K League 1 as Jeju FC and Daegu FC lock horns at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on Saturday. Having failed to win the last four meetings between the two teams, Hak-Beom Kim’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over Daegu and secure their first home win since April.
A rejuvenated Jeju FC picked up consecutive wins for the first time since October as they edged out FC Seoul 3-1 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium last time out. This followed a 1-0 victory over Suwon FC on May 27, a result which saw their six-game winless run in the league come to an end.
Jeju have picked up 19 points from their 17 K League 1 matches so far to sit 10th in the standings, but could move into eighth place with all three points this weekend.
As for Daegu, they needed a 67th-minute penalty from veteran midfielder Bruno Lamas to salvage a 1-1 draw against Gwangju FC last time out.
With that result, Byung-Soo Kim’s men have failed to taste victory in four consecutive games, losing three and claiming one draw since a 2-1 win over FC Anyang in their Korean Cup last-16 clash on May 14.
Daegu have lost 11 of their 17 league matches so far while claiming three wins and three draws to collect 12 points and sit rock-bottom in the standings.
