Jeonbuk and Suwon Samsung Bluewings meet this Friday, at 17:00, at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium, behind closed doors, in the first round of K-League 1, the South Korean championship.
The home team , commanded by the Portuguese José Morais, enters the field with the triple champion status and faces a Suwon who last year failed to qualify for the title play-off, finishing in eighth position, but won the cup – beat Daejeon, from third step.
Jeonbuk appears with some changes in the squad, highlighting the departure of Brazilian striker Ricardo Lopes, who moved to Shanghai SIPG, from China.
Suwon managed to keep Australian Adam Taggart, who was the best scorer of the race in 2019, with 20 goals.
The preparation of the two sets was naturally atypical, which should have an effect on the intensity of the match, even though the two had already played two games in the Asian Champions League – Jeonbuk had lost at home to Yokama Marinos (1-2), from Japan, and drew with Sydney (2-2), in Australia; Suwon was defeated by Vissel Kobe (0-1), also from Japan, and by Johor (2-1), from Malaysia. Who will start on the right foot?
