Suwon Samsung and FC Seoul will play a rival derby at an important time.
Suwon and Seoul will face off in the 29th round of ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’ held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 4:30 pm on September 2nd. Currently, Suwon is 11th with 22 points and Seoul is 5th with 40 points.
Both teams meet their rivals when they need to rebound. First of all, Suwon escaped from the bottom of the league thanks to Bultuis’ winning goal against Jeju United last year, but could not continue the trend in the Gwangju FC expedition. Rather, the atmosphere was completely broken with a 0-4 defeat. It is fortunate for Suwon that Gangwon FC, which competes for the last place, failed to narrow the point gap by drawing with Pohang Steelers after losing to Suwon FC.
You can’t be too sure about that though. The difference between the two teams is only 1 point. Depending on the results of the 29th round, Suwon may go down to the bottom of the leaderboard again. In order to widen the gap with Gangwon and catch up with Suwon FC, we definitely need a win.
At this point where there is no place to retreat, I met Seoul, my biggest rival. Suwon lost both matches against Seoul this season. The last victory was a super match held at the Sangam World Cup Stadium in September of last year. In addition, since former coach Ahn Ik-soo left, Seoul changed to Kim Jin-kyu as acting manager, and as Kim Jin-kyu said, ‘poisonous spirit’ has risen.
However, it is not that Seoul is not free from pressure. It is the same for Seoul that has to play a rival derby at an important time. Seoul, which had risen to 2nd place at the beginning of the season, has recently been sluggish and has fallen to 5th place, becoming embroiled in a tight mid-table battle. Right now, the points are the same as Incheon United in 6th place, and the difference in points with Daejeon Hana Citizen in 8th place is 3 points. If you lose in the 29th round, it is a story that you may go down to the lower split rankings depending on the results of other teams.
Aside from the impact the rivalry derby has on the team’s atmosphere, the upcoming supermatch is quite important for both teams. As the fans of both teams knew this, they started buying tickets as soon as the game reservations opened.안전놀이터
According to Suwon officials, about 18,000 tickets have been sold so far. The largest number of spectators at Suwon’s home this season was the Super Match held on June 24, and the official number of spectators counted at that time was 19,513. An official said that the largest number of spectators for Big Bird this season is expected, as more than 3,000 people have already sold tickets at the same time compared to the previous Super Match.
