Daejeon Hana Citizen will play FC Seoul in the 30th round of Hana Bank K League 2024 at Sangam World Cup Stadium on the 14th. The two teams previously shared three points with one win and one loss in two face-to-face matches this season.
Daejeon recently succeeded in turning the mood around. Daejeon, which struggled in the early days of Hwang Sun-hong's appointment, continued its undefeated trend with three wins and two draws in the last five games. Recently, efforts to escape the threat to the lowest rank by taking points against Gwangju, Incheon, and Daegu have been leading to results. However, he is still one point away from 12th-ranked Daegu, so he is desperate to win against Seoul.
In Daejeon, Martha and Kim Joon-beom were located at the front line, and in the midfield, Kim Seung-dae, Choi Geon-ju, Lee Soon-min, and Bob Shin were located. Oh Jae-seok, Kim Hyun-woo, Lee Jung-taek and Lee Sang-min will protect the four-back, while Lee Chang-geun will wear the goalkeeper's gloves.

On the issue of injury to the team, "Oh Jae-seok continued to train even though his sense of play was worrisome. Kim Seung-dae was active as a Joker, but he was selected as a starter because (Yoon) Do-young was out. Kim Moon-hwan explained, "I've recovered to some extent now."
Daejeon has been undefeated in the last five games. Manager Hwang said "The team's atmosphere has improved a lot. The competition system is gaining ground a lot, and it is important to keep it to the end, but it is in good condition and the atmosphere is not bad. I think today's game will be a watershed. There are still difficult games to play in the future, so I think today's game will be very important."
For Daejeon, breaking through Seoul's defense is the key. Seoul has scored just one run in its last five games, and is the league's smallest losing team. Coach Hwang said, `Coach Kim Ki-dong thought a lot of possession, but recently, even if we give up a little bit of possession, it is difficult to focus on counterattacks by tightening the defense, scoring the first goal, and strengthening the defense. In the end, I think it will be a battle in the midfield. It may not be an easy game because it is a team that raises energy through the midfielder's local energy level or the replacement of the offense, but since we have prepared a lot, I think it would be okay if we could do a good job in the midfield," he said.
"Football is not just played with skills, but away games will be quite burdensome. "However, technicality is important because I don't feel desperate at this point and I can be in a lot of danger, but I think I can play well only with a lot of mental consideration, and I also conveyed that to the players as well."
