Chungbuk Cheongju FC challenges for a four-match unbeaten streak against Busan IPark in the Hana Bank K League 2 2025 Round 11 at Cheongju Sports Complex on the 11th.

Chungbuk Cheongju recorded a three-match unbeaten streak in the league, having played a 3-3 draw in the home opener against Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the 10th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2025 on May 4th, with over 10,000 spectators.

In this 11th round, Chungbuk Cheongju has the advantage over Busan with a record of '2 wins and 4 draws'. Busan, led by players ranked 5th in scoring and 1st in assists such as Peshin and Billelo, is currently sitting 5th in the league and is on a three-game winning streak.

Chungbuk Cheongju has also shown good form over the last three matches. In the last game, they exploited the opponent's spaces ruthlessly, scoring three goals. In particular, Gabriel is currently tied for 2nd in the league scoring chart with 6 goals, and Pedro is gradually regaining form. They are regaining vigor on the attack with both players leading the way.

Chungbuk Cheongju has shown a particularly strong performance against Busan. Notably, in the 39th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2023, they prevented Busan from securing direct promotion to K League 1, as Jorge (then of Chungbuk Cheongju FC) scored a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time of the second half. This moment remains a painful memory for Busan fans. In the 2024 season that followed, Chungbuk Cheongju achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 draw against Busan, continuing to showcase their 'Busan killer' reputation.

Currently, Chungbuk Cheongju is in 8th place in the league with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses (11 points), while Busan is sitting 5th with 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses (18 points). Both teams are on a recent winning streak, and a fierce competition for higher ranks is expected.

Chungbuk Cheongju head coach Kwon O-kyu noted, "I was quite disappointed with the last match ending in a draw, but we are preparing for the game against Busan with a renewed spirit. This time, we will definitely aim for victory in front of our home fans."

Meanwhile, Chungbuk Cheongju has prepared various events for fans. Following the last game, the 'children's package' consisting of children's t-shirts, caps, gym bags, and the club mascot 'Leoni' badges will be sold in a limited quantity of 100 sets for this match as well.

In addition, there will be abundant activities available such as attendance check events, tattoo sticker experiences, arcade games, and various sponsor events. Also, generous prizes usable at various brands such as Gapyeong Cruise, Gapyeong New Park, DIO Ocean Resort in Yeosu, Gloucester Hotel, Poid Carrot, Chungbuk Soju x Manjae Ne, Clean Conscience, Cow and Cow, and Saimdang Cosmetics are prepared.

On May 11th (Sunday), Chungbuk Cheongju, which drew over 10,000 spectators in the home opener against Suwon Samsung, expects a large crowd again for the second home match against Busan. Ticket pre-sales for season holders began on May 6th (Tuesday), and general sales are currently underway.
