Jeju United Vs Daejeon Citizen - 3pm, Sunday, 17th May 2009 (Jeju World Cup Stadium, Seogwipo)
Jeju host fellow strugglers Daejeon Citizen on Sunday anxious to gain their first win in six league matches. With this weekend's game being United's last league match until 20th June, a win is particularly important to Jeju's hopes of challenging for a play-off spot this seaon.

Whilst there are still injury problems in defence, Jeju's midfield and attack is looking strong. The side will be desperately searching for a victory which could possibly move them back to within a point of a play-off position.
