The professional volleyball 2024-2025 V-League will turn the halfway point.
Each club will play two games each from the 24th to the 31st before starting the All-Star break from January 1st to 6th next year.
Each team prepares a schedule for the second half of the year, taking a break for about 10 days according to the schedule.
The players are expected to go all out in the remaining games of this year because they can rest well during the break.
The most eye-catching game of the remaining games in the first half of the men’s team will be held on the 25th, Christmas Day.
No. 1 Hyundai Capital and No. 2 Korean Air will face off for the last time in the first half at Cheonan Yu Gwan-soon Gymnasium.
Hyundai Capital, led by Heo Soo-bong and Leonardo Leiva Martinez (registered name Leo), is racing to the top with 14 wins, 2 losses and 40 points this season.
Defending champion Korean Air is also displaying strong performance. The team is fiercely chasing Hyundai Capital with 11 wins, 5 losses and 35 points.
Depending on the result of the match, the gap between the two teams could widen to eight points or narrow to two points.
The atmosphere is similar between the two teams. Hyundai Capital is on a seven-game winning streak, while Korean Air is also on a two-game winning streak. Fierce competition is expected.
The race for third place is also fierce. While third-ranked Woori Card and fifth-ranked Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance have lost two consecutive games and four, respectively, fourth-ranked KB Insurance has won two consecutive games to catch up.
KB Insurance, which remained at the bottom of the season, ignited the mid-range fight with the joining of discharged setter Hwang Taek-ui and the struggles of native strikers such as Na Kyung-bok.
KB Insurance, which had been wandering around due to safety issues at its home stadium, has recently been on the rise in a stable environment, including the establishment of Uijeongbu Kyungmin University Gymnasium as a temporary home stadium.
KB Insurance will fight Woori Card for third place on the 26th.
Korea Electric Power Corp. ranked 6th and OK Savings Bank ranked 7th also did not lose hope.
KEPCO has lost four straight games recently, but is only four points behind fifth-ranked Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance. The gap between OK Savings Bank and Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance is also only five points.
You can jump to the middle at any time.
KEPCO’s first task is to adapt to the new foreign player Matheus Krouchuk (registered name Matheus) within the team. 메이저사이트
In the women’s division, while Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was considered the “absolute first round,” slowed down, second-ranked Hyundai Engineering & Construction followed suit.
Heungkuk Life had won 14 consecutive games since the opening, but lost to third place Jeong Kwan-jang and second place Hyundai Engineering & Construction in a row.
Foreign player Tutku bourgeois Yuzgenk (registered name Tutku) left due to a knee injury.
On the other hand, Hyundai Engineering & Construction has won two consecutive games, chasing Heungkuk Life by three points.
Jeong Kwan-jang has recently won six consecutive games and is chasing him fiercely.
Heungkuk Life Insurance’s top priority is to win both of the remaining two games in the first half and keep the top spot.
Heungkuk Life is left with the 6th-ranked Korea Expressway Corporation and the lowest-ranked GS Caltex match.
The third-ranked Chung Kwan-jang will play the last game of the first half against the fourth-ranked IBK Industrial Bank on the 31st.
