Suwon (29 points), the lowest ranked team in the first division, will play a visiting match against Seoul (7th place, 54 points) in the 37th round on the 25th. Since it is a rivalry 'super match', both teams are determined to win, but Suwon's situation is much more desperate. Suwon lost all three matches against Seoul this season.

If Suwon, ranked 12th and last place, loses this game and Gangwon (11th place, 30 points) defeats Suwon FC (10th place, 32 points) on the same day, Suwon's relegation to the second division is virtually confirmed. The 10th-place team in the 1st Division will face the final winner of the playoffs between 3rd to 5th-place players in the 2nd Division, and the 11th-place team will play a promotion playoff against the 2nd place in the 2nd Division, so they have one more chance to remain in the 1st Division, but the 12th-place team will be immediately relegated. do. If Gangwon also loses on this day, they could fall to last place depending on the results of the games between Suwon and Seoul, so they are equally anxious.

If Suwon loses and Gangwon wins, the relegation zone ranking and points will be 10th place Gangwon (33 points), 11th place Suwon FC (32 points), and 12th place Suwon (29 points). In this case, Suwon and Suwon FC may have the same number of points depending on the results of the final game of the season on December 2, but Suwon FC is ahead of Suwon by 9 goals in terms of goals. If the points are equal, the ranking is determined by multiple points. Suwon will play Gangwon and Suwon FC will play Jeju in the final match.

Suwon, founded in 1995, is a team that has won the first division four times. It is a prestigious club that has lifted the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup trophy five times and reached the top of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League twice. However, in the last five seasons until last year, they only ranked 6th, 8th, 8th, 6th, and 10th, and this season they were on the verge of relegation to the second division for the first time since their founding.

In the second division, the winning team will be determined on the 26th when the final game of the season is held. The team that wins the second division will advance to the first division the following season. As of the 24th, the first place in the second division is Busan (69 points), and the second place is Gimcheon (68 points), and the point difference between the two teams is 1 point. Starting at 3 p.m. on this day, six games will kick off simultaneously, including the Busan-Chungbuk Cheongju (live broadcast on Channel A Plus) and Gimcheon-Seoul E-Land games. If Busan wins, it will return to the first division after four years. As a result of the final match, if Busan and Gimcheon have the same number of points, Gimcheon, which is 21 goals ahead in scoring, has an absolute advantage. Gimcheon was in the first division last season.

Seoul is expected to exceed 400,000 paid spectators for the season for the first time in K-League history through its home game against Suwon held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 25th. The K League began counting paid spectators in 2018. A total of 394,022 spectators (average 21,890) attended Seoul's 18 home games this year, leaving 5,978 spectators out of 400,000 spectators. On this day, more than 30,000 tickets were reserved for the game, and the number of spectators exceeded 400,000. It is expected that Lotte, a professional baseball team, will also set a new record for the largest average attendance (21,901) in a season for domestic professional sports, set in 2008.  카지노사이트
