It literally has the strongest spear and the shield of practicality. Now, under the guidance of coach Gus Poyet, Jeonbuk Hyundai is aiming for a decisive victory in Gwangju.
Jeonbuk Hyundai will face Gwangju FC in an away match on the 11th at Gwangju World Cup Stadium in the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 Round 13.
Ahead of this match, Jeonbuk (22 points, 6 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses) is closely pursuing the leader Daejeon Hana Citizen (28 points, 8 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses). With a difference of 6 points from the second match, they are looking for both high scores and victory.
Jeonbuk is on an unbeaten streak in the last 8 league matches (5 wins, 3 draws). In particular, they have recorded 13 goals during this period, demonstrating formidable scoring power. At the center of this is Jeon Jin-woo, who has scored 6 goals and is flying high.
Jeon Jin-woo is practically reigning as the league's top player at this point. He is second in scoring with 7 goals, as well as ranking highly in overall attacking metrics (26 shots, 14 shots on target).
Even more encouraging is the scoring distribution. Of his 7 goals this season, 2 were headers, 3 were with his right foot, and 2 were with his left foot, showing his versatility in scoring methods.
In fact, the team has never lost in any matches where Jeon Jin-woo has scored, underscoring the high value of his goals. He has particularly shown a dominant performance by scoring the first goal against Daejeon, the last leader.
With Jeon Jin-woo's scoring power leading the way, Jeonbuk has added more practical football to further accelerate their upward momentum.
Coach Gus Poyet has arranged a midfield combination of Kang Sang-yoon, Kim Jin-kyu, and Park Jin-seop, while also stabilizing the defense by centering on veterans like Hong Jeong-ho and Kim Tae-hwan within the backline.
From Jeonbuk's perspective, where the harmony between offense and defense has become perfect, they are now aiming for victory to return to the top after a long time.
It remains to be seen whether Jeonbuk, led by Jeon Jin-woo and practical football, can defeat Gwangju and take one step closer to the top spot.
