Professional soccer K League 1 FC Seoul's Moon Sun-min (33) and Kim Jin-soo (33) will meet their former team Jeonbuk Hyundai for the first time since the transfer.
Seoul will play the 11th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 against Jeonbuk at 7 p.m. on the 3rd at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Although Seoul was considered as a leading candidate before the season, the trend is mixed recently. Seoul is somewhat sluggish as it ranks eighth in the league with 13 points. Recently, it has been mired in four winless matches (two draws and two losses) and posted its first two consecutive wins of this season.
On the other hand, Jeonbuk has had an upturn since then, ranking second in the league with 18 points. It has achieved a whopping four wins (two draws) in six recent league matches.
It is his lack of offensive power that holds back Seoul. He has scored only nine goals during 10 games in the league. He had bad luck hitting the post four times in the last three games. There is also bad news that midfielders Ki Sung-yueng and Jung Seung-won get injured.
From Seoul's perspective, it is tricky for the next team to be Jeonbuk. Seoul shared one win, one draw and one loss with Jeonbuk in the last season. It beat the jinx of no win (five draws and 16 losses) in 21 matches against Jeonbuk in seven years. However, the jinx of "home game" remains. Seoul has lost to Jeonbuk at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, its home ground, since 2017.
It is striker Moon Seon-min who has high expectations. He played for Jeonbuk from 2021 to 2024. Ahead of this season, he moved to Seoul and has been playing as a top Joker. Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong has selected Moon Seon-min as a substitute to sway the opponent team. The player has also accepted his role and is creating impressive scenes in every game. He has posted two goals and one assist in 10 matches, a record he posted as a substitute for all three offensive points.
Defender Kim Jin-su will also have his first showdown with his former team. He is a veteran player who played 160 games in Jeonbuk alone until last season after his career debut. Some critics say his skills have declined compared to his heyday. However, he instantly became a starting player after moving to Seoul. He has displayed strong defense capabilities by starting in all league games.
Both Moon and Kim Jin-soo showed strong performance against Seoul when they were in Jeonbuk. Now, attention is focusing on how they will play against their former team. 먹튀검증
Jeonbuk will face off as a formidable striker consisting of Kompanyo (five goals) and Jeon Jin-woo (six goals). Notably, Jeon has displayed outstanding performance by being considered the best 11 players and MVP of the last nine rounds.
