Gwangju FC's advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) was the joy of the K-League 1. The joy embroidered the ground. Gwangju will perform on the stage again without a comma. Gwangju will have an away game with Gimcheon Sangmu at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Gimcheon Sports Complex. It is the fifth round of Hana Bank's K-League 1 2025. "I will focus only on the league until April. I will only think about the upcoming match against Gimcheon. I will analyze it carefully and prepare well," Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo said on Wednesday. In preparation for the upcoming ACLE, the team has postponed until Tuesday its fourth round against the Pohang Steelers. In the K-League 1, the team is the only team without defeat, with one win and two draws (five points). However, Gimcheon is not an easy match to beat. Last year's performance is on the rise again. Given this, the team is not a sensation but a performance. Gimcheon has no loss in three consecutive matches (two wins and one draw). It boasts the most goals (seven goals) among the 12 teams.

The competition for the lead is also heating up. Daejeon Hana Citizen of "storm recruitment" and Ulsan HD, which aims to win its fourth consecutive K League 1 title, are both at the top with nine points (three wins and one loss). Daejeon is one goal ahead in terms of multiple points. Just below are Daegu FC and Gangwon FC, which have the same seven points as Gimcheon FC. Daejeon will clash with Jeju SK at the Jeju World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday. It is the first match of the upcoming round. Daejeon, which has recorded two consecutive wins, plans to continue its momentum to rank No. 1 by banking on its national striker Ju Min-gyu, who has recorded the most goals (four goals). Jeju defeated FC Seoul 2-0 in the first round to predict an unexpected change, but it has been winless (one draw and two losses) in three consecutive recent matches. With the addition of Lee Chang-min, who has completed his mandatory military service as a social service worker, and newly joined Brazil's Evandro and Denilson, who have joined the team.

Ulsan, which is riding the wind of winning three consecutive games, will face Suwon FC at Suwon Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Suwon FC, which has two draws and two losses (score points of 2), has yet to report a win along with Pohang (score point of 1 draw and 2 losses). It desperately needs a first win, but it feels a lot of pressure since it is against Ulsan. Ulsan's new scout, Hur Yul, scored three goals in four games to erase the void left by its new teammate, Ju Min-gyu, who moved to Daejeon. With only one goal lost in four games, solid defense line is the best weapon. Ulsan, which has recorded clean sheets (no goals lost) in three consecutive games, is strongly holding its four-back position, which is led by its captain, Kim Young-kwon, and Kang Sang-woo, Yoon Jong-gyu. Even Cho Hyun-woo, the gatekeeper of the "number 1" of the Republic of Korea, who left the team due to a broken nose, has returned to the team, which has strengthened its position. Ulsan's bid for a fourth consecutive K-League 1 title is "clean."

Seoul, which also received high expectations as a "big two" along with Ulsan, has hardly caught the eye. Seoul seemed to have succeeded in rebounding by winning 2-1 against FC Anyang in the second round, but lost face by going scoreless and drawless in the matches against Gimcheon and Suwon FC in the third and fourth rounds. Seoul, which has five points (1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss), only scored two goals. The mood for this round is not easy either. Gangwon will invite Seoul to its Chuncheon home at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Gangwon, which won the runner-up prize in a surprise match last year, is in the same vein as Gimcheon. In the last round, it won 1-0 in an away match against Jeonbuk, continuing its relentless strides. In four meetings of the K-League last season, Seoul dominated the league with two wins, one draw and one loss. However, it is questionable when the "Spring of Seoul" will come. 메이저사이트

Jeonbuk has been away to Sydney, Australia, for the ACL 2, but is still in crisis. It has been sluggish since it lost to the Final B for the first time in its history last year. The team had only one win, one draw and two losses (four points) in four matches. Pohang, the opponent of the upcoming round, is also busy finding a way to go. It has been two weeks since the team took the stage and is fully committed. Jeonbuk will have a showdown with Pohang at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium. Daegu, which suffered its first defeat in the last round, will face Anyang, which has been mired in three consecutive losses, at its home turf at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
