This is the last regular round before the final A and B are separated.

The painting has already been completed. 'Split fate' was decided early on. Final A will have Ulsan HD (58 points), Gimcheon Sangmu (56 points), Gangwon FC (52 points), Pohang Steelers, FC Seoul (50 points or more), and Suwon FC (48 points). In Final B, Gwangju FC (40 points), Jeju United (38 points), Jeonbuk Hyundai (37 points), Daegu FC, Daejeon Hana Citizen (35 points), and Incheon United (32 points) are located.

In Final A, the Asian Champions League (ACLE, ACL2) ticket war will take place with the victory. Final B is a survival battleground. The lowest 12th place will be directly demoted to the second division, while the 10th and 11th places will be determined to remain through the promotion and playoffs (PO).

The 1st and 2nd places in the K League will collide on the last road. Ulsan will play the 33rd round and the final round of the regular round against Gimcheon Sangmu 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Munsu Football Stadium at 3 p.m. on the 6th.

'Lee Dong-kyung The Derby' is successful. Lee Dong-kyung (Kim Cheon) will stand at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium for the first time in 161 days. It is not Lee Dong-kyung in Ulsan, but Lee Dong-kyung in Gimcheon. Lee Dong-kyung played in eight games in Ulsan's uniform earlier this season and dominated the K League 1 with seven goals and five assists.

He joined the army on April 28 after a match against Jeju United. In Gimcheon, he played in 13 games and fully adapted with four goals and one assist.

It's an unyielding battle of six points. If Ulsan wins this game, it can reach Final A by widening the gap to five points. On the other hand, if Gimcheon smiles, the lead position changes.

Ulsan has continued its good trend with five undefeated games (4 wins and 1 draw) in the league recently. However, I was in pain during the week. In the second round of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage of the 2024-2025 season against Yokohama Marinos on the 2nd, the team fell into a swamp of two consecutive losses with a 0-4 defeat. Gimcheon is currently on a three-game winning streak.

The best 11 has been revealed. Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon brings up the 4-3-3 system. With Kim Ji-hyun and Jang Si-young forming a three-top with Joo Min-kyu as the center, Lee Chung-yong, Boyanich, Ko Seung-beom will coordinate the offense and defense. Lee Myung-jae, Kim Young-kwon, Kim Ki-hee, and Choi Kang-min will breathe in the four-back. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

Kim Jeong-yong, head coach of Gimcheon, counters with a 4-3-3 card. With Park Sang-hyuk at the center, Kim Seung-seop and Mo Jae-hyun will lead the attack. Lee Dong-kyung, Kim Bong-soo, and Seo Min-woo are located in Jungwon, Park Soo-il, Park Chan-yong, Park Seung-wook, and Kim Kang-san are located in Fourback. Kim Dong-heon wears goalkeeper gloves.
