The Jeonnam Dragons, a candidate for promotion, are aiming for a turnaround in the enemy territory. Jeonnam, which has slowed down since the victory of the opening game, is trying to stop Suwon Samsung's rise by using transfer players and existing key resources.

Jeonnam and Suwon Samsung will meet in the third round of Hana Bank's K League 2026 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 14th.

The away team Jeonnam will place Jeong Ji-yong, Le Bon, Jung Tae-in and Choi Han-sol in the midfield with Valdivia and Honan in front. Gamsingmyeong, Noh Dong-gun, Hong Seok-hyun and Kim Yong-hwan will play four-back, while Choi Bong-jin will wear goalie gloves.

In an interview before the game, South Jeolla Province coach Park Dong-hyuk (47) said, "The match against Suwon is very important in setting the direction for South Jeolla Province going forward," adding, "It is also true that Suwon is considered a strong favorite, and coach Lee Jung-hyo is a leader who is recognized for his ability." But soccer is a sport with many variables. I trust our players. If you do as much as you have prepared, I expect it to come out sufficiently," he said.

Jeonnam showed off its potential by defeating Gyeongnam 4-1 in the opening game, but it was disappointing to lose 2-4 away to Daegu FC in the second round. Coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "I was disappointed that I couldn't hit the opponent properly in the match against Daegu," adding, "I thought it would be better to fight in front of Suwon." It's an away game in Suwon, but he's trying to be a little more aggressive. I don't think Jeollanam-do is lagging behind Suwon in terms of attack power," he said.

Coach Park Dong-hyuk then said, "As the opponent is home, it will come out actively, but we also have a reason for putting a lot of offense numbers. When the opponent comes up, there will definitely be an opportunity in Jeollanam-do. "We have prepared a tactic to threaten the opponent," he said. "I don't know what the initial pattern will be, but Suwon will inevitably change in the middle depending on Jeonnam's response."

He also expressed confidence based on the results. Coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "If we bring the results of the match against Suwon, we will be able to play the league more comfortably and the players will be full of confidence. For now, I will focus only on today's game than I thought. I just think I have to win," he stressed.

Valdivia, the highest-level offensive resource in K League 2, is showing off its robustness by scoring consecutive offensive points. In the match against Suwon, he is at the forefront and aims at the goal. Regarding the change in the list, coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "Yoon Min-ho is not a big injury, but in the long run, he decided that it would be better to take a game off," adding, "Instead, Le Bon prepared well and is in good condition." I hope that the value of mercenaries will be proved in this weighty game," he added.
