Korean Air, 2nd place in the V-League's first overall championship for 4 consecutive seasons
Woori Card, 1st place in the regular league for the second time in total
In the professional volleyball men's division, Korean Air and Woori Card will clash for first place.
Korean Air will face Woori Card in the final match of the 6th round of the 2023-2024 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon at 7 p.m. on the 6th.
First place Korean Air, with 22 wins and 11 losses (67 points) on the season, is ahead of second place Woori Card (21 wins, 11 losses, 63 points) by 4 points. Korean Air is currently racing toward first place with 8 consecutive wins.
If Korean Air wins the Woori Card match, it will be one step closer to first place in the regular league for the 7th time in its history.
Additionally, Korean Air is attempting to win the championship for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season.
Korean Air struggled due to a long-term injury to foreign player Lincoln, but quickly reorganized the team in the second half of the league and rose to first place. Replacing the foreign player with Murad gave strength to the offense.
Korean Air's greatest strength is that it has good offensive linemen such as Lim Dong-hyun and Jeong Han-yong, as well as experienced setters Han Seon-su and Yoo Gwang-woo.
However, Korean Air was pushed back against Woori Card this season with 2 wins and 3 losses. Korea Air Force won both rounds 4 and 5.
Woori Card is challenging for first place in the regular league for the second time in its history. The chances of taking the throne increase if you go straight to the championship game.
Woori Card recorded 2 wins and 2 losses in the last 4 games. They recently lost against Korean Air and OK Financial Group, both of which bowed out after a close full set. The cause was a lack of decisiveness in the 5th set.
Woori Card also replaced foreign players. As Matei was diagnosed as out for the season due to injury, Artem is stepping in as the new foreign player.
Artem’s responsibility is enormous. Artem, who is still adjusting to Korean volleyball, did not receive a clear passing grade in attack power. The defensive receiving is even weaker.
For Woori Card to win, the even performance of players such as Kim Ji-han, Han Seong-jeong, and Issei is a prerequisite for victory. Setter Han Tae-jun's quick toss work is also needed. With the addition of veteran Song Myung-geun, there are more attack options. 성인웹툰
