Incheon United V Jeju United Preview

Incheon United V Jeju United - 7pm, Saturday 4th July 2009 (Incheon World Cup Stadium)

In form striker Bang Seung Hwan returns to his former club on Saturday as Jeju look to move in to a play off position. The match won't be easy though as Incheon are currently in 4th place having only lost two league games all season.

Whilst the Jeju squad will be tired after a long night of FA Cup football on Wednesday, the club is on a good run of form and should be optimistic that at least a draw can be secured from this match.

July is a busy month for the side as this game is followed by a Peace Cup quarter final against Ulsan on Wednesday and another league game versus Chunnam next weekend.

Previous Meetings
Jeju has failed to beat Incheon in the last six league matches between the two clubs. The islanders can take comfort though from the fact that they have taken a point on each of their last three visits to Incheon.
