The 2026 K League 2 season continues this weekend with a clash between two promotion favourites in Suwon Bluewings and Jeonnam Dragons, Busan IPark face Seoul E-Land, and Daegu FC host Chungnam Asan in what's expected to be an action-packed Round 3. Match of the Round: Early Promotion Test Both Suwon Samsung Bluewings and Jeonnam Dragons have produced impressive performances in the opening weeks of the season. Suwon have made the expected strong start with two consecutive victories, while Jeonnam showed their resilience despite suffering defeat in Round 2 following a dominant opening-day win. The outcome of this encounter could offer an early indication of the balance of power in K League 2. Suwon claimed a 2-1 victory over Seoul E-Land in Round 1 before edging Paju Frontier 1-0 in Round 2 to maintain their perfect start. However, the win over Paju was not without difficulties. Suwon struggled at times against Paju’s well-organised defensive structure and counterattacks, and found themselves having to dig in to defend several dangerous opportunities. One positive was the performance of new signing Jeong Ho-yeon, who impressed after coming off the bench and brought stability to the midfield. Bruno Silva also demonstrated his potential as an attacking option for manager Lee Jung-hyo, underlining Suwon’s overall strength. Jeonnam, meanwhile, followed up their emphatic 4-1 opening-day win against Gyeongnam FC with a 4-2 defeat to Daegu in Round 2. Despite the loss, the side displayed a clear attacking identity. Jeong Ji-yong’s pace and the presence of Honan in attack were particularly notable, while Valdivia contributed with an assist. However, Jeonnam struggled to respond to Daegu’s substitutions and conceded two goals in similar fashion to Edgar. With Suwon also boasting several players capable of decisive individual moments, how Jeonnam adapt defensively will be crucial. Suwon have dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning four and drawing two of the teams’ last six meetings over the past two years. However, with both clubs under new management, their first meeting under the current coaches could produce a different dynamic. Suwon and Jeonnam meet on Saturday, 14 March at 2:00 PM at Suwon World Cup Stadium. Team of the Round: Busan IPark Busan IPark secured an impressive 3-1 victory away to Ansan in Round 2, scoring two dramatic late goals. The result was even more striking, considering Ansan had opened their season with a 4-1 win. Busan adopted a significantly different tactical approach compared with last season, firing 27 shots at the Ansan goal on their way to claiming all three points. The key to Busan’s attacking improvement has been a shift in formation. Last year, they relied largely on a three-centre-back system focused on defensive stability, but this season they have lined up with a back four in both of their opening matches. Jang Ho-ik and Woo Joo-sung have anchored the defence, while the full-backs have been encouraged to push forward and support the attack. In midfield, Lee Dong-su has taken on defensive duties while Kim Min-hyuk has provided creativity in orchestrating attacks. New signing Cristian Renato has also made an immediate impact, scoring in both of his first two matches. If additional attacking options such as Gabriel and Baek Ga-on continue to regain match fitness, Busan’s attacking threat could grow even further. Busan, now embracing a more attacking style, travel to face Seoul E-Land in this round. The two teams were evenly matched last season, with one win each and one draw. Notably, the three matches produced a combined total of 12 goals, suggesting another high-scoring contest could be on the cards. Busan face Seoul E-Land on Saturday, 14 March at 2:00 PM at Mokdong Stadium. Player of the Round: Daegu FC's Edgar Daegu FC have opened the season with back-to-back home victories. Their momentum grew even stronger after a thrilling 4-2 comeback win over Jeonnam in Round 2, with substitute Edgar playing a decisive role. The two sides were level at 2–2 at halftime before Daegu head coach Kim Byung-soo made a bold decision at the start of the second half. He introduced Edgar in place of left midfielder Park Gi-hyeon in an attacking change that proved crucial. Edgar delivered the breakthrough, scoring twice in quick succession in the 70th and 76th minutes to secure a 4-2 victory for Daegu. Both goals highlighted the Brazilian striker’s aerial dominance. One came from a powerful header, while the other was a deft redirection that required only a slight touch to guide the ball into the net. Edgar also demonstrated his overall influence by winning seven of his nine aerial duels. He attempted five shots in total, four of which were on target, showcasing his clinical finishing. In recognition of his performance, Edgar was named the season’s first Round MVP. Daegu, aiming for a third consecutive victory, travel to face Chungnam Asan in this round. Chungnam Asan defeated Paju 3-2 in their opening match before sitting out Round 2.

Daegu FC have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of giant Welsh striker Marcus Dackers from Scottish side Kilmarnock FC. The 6ft 7in forward is expected to go straight into the squad for Daegu’s trip to Chungnam Asan on Sunday. K League United’s Stuart Warren runs the (very long) rule over their new signing. (Image via Daegu FC) Dackers arrives at Daegu after a period in the Scottish Premier League, where he scored four goals in 30 appearances for Kilmarnock, with the last of those coming in the form of a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Livingston back in January. The striker started his career in the youth setup at Manchester City, before moving on to Brighton and Hove Albion. After failing to make the breakthrough at the Amex Stadium, he signed for League 2 side Salford City in 2021, where he went on to make 15 appearances, as well as enjoying a number of loan moves to non-league sides, most notably Altrincham, Southend United, and Morecambe in the National League. After failing to secure a new deal at Salford, he then moved north of the border to Kilmarnock. The signing of Dackers is also a somewhat historic one for the Sky Blues, as he will be the first British player to play for the club, and only the fifth European ever to do so. In fact, the last player from Europe to pull on the sky blue was some 17 years ago; Serbian striker Lazar Popović, whose time at the club lasted just a few months. (Image via Daegu FC) So what can the Daegu expect to see from their new front man? Despite his size, Dackers has many other strengths and is considered a good all-round footballer. He possesses a good first touch, quick feet, and also pace. During his unveiling at the club’s stadium on Wednesday, when asked what he would bring to the team, he was quoted as saying, “Firstly, I will work really hard for the team. I will look to receive the ball from the midfielders and defenders and bring other players into the play. I will also look to run in behind. I'm very tall, but I have good mobility for my size. I'll look to use my size and my speed as well to impact the game as much as possible.” With Daegu coming off the back of a 4-2 victory over Jeonnam Dragons last weekend, and already boasting high quality attacking personnel in the shape of Cesinha, Edgar, Serafin, Park Dae-hoon, and Park In-hyeok, it will be interesting to see how quickly Dackers can force his way into the starting line up, or if he has to bide his time in an area of the field which is already overloaded. He will certainly offer something different, though, and may well be very useful as an impact substitute over the coming weeks. It remains to be seen how well Dackers will fit into Daegu’s system and Korean football in general, but one thing is for sure: he can certainly give the Sky Blues a markedly different option in the final third as they look to gain promotion back to K League 1.

This Sunday, Incheon United will travel to Pohang Steelers’ Steel Yard in search of their first points of the season. Without a point in their first two games, the Blue-Black will be looking to finally get their season started. Standing in their way is a side that regularly challenges for continental football. The Story So Far Pohang have only played once this year: an away fixture against Gimcheon Sangmu. The game finished 1–1 and was a fairly cagey affair. The home side took the lead early before Pohang found an equaliser. Pohang were then reduced to ten men but managed to hold on for a point. Their game last weekend against Gangwon was postponed due to Gangwon's involvement in the AFC Champions League Elite. The game will be played on 28 March. Incheon, fresh off their promotion from K League 2 last year, had high hopes coming into the season. However, this has yet to pan out. A difficult defeat in the first game back against FC Seoul followed by a loss on the road in Gwangju means that they are one of only two teams in the division not to have earned a point thus far. With the next three fixtures looking equally tricky, Incheon face the prospect of failing to pick up a point in their first month back in the top division. [READ: Round 3 Preview] Head to Head Pohang and Incheon have met on 46 occasions, with the home side having the far superior record in these outings. Pohang have won 23 of the meetings to Incheon's nine, with 14 games ending level. Incheon's last win in the Steelyard was almost three years ago, in April 2023. Pohang have won four of the last six meetings between the teams, with two ending in a draw. Pohang's biggest win in this fixture was a 5-0 hammering in October 2017. Opposing Views This week, I sat down with Claire, our Pohang columnist, to discuss her thoughts on the game and the season ahead. Luke: Pohang have only played once so far, and had last weekend off. Do you think this will be a benefit or a hindrance coming into the Incheon game? Claire: I think it should be a benefit, or at least not a hindrance. It feels as if Pohang have had a bit of a false start to the season, playing once and then immediately having our Round 2 fixture rescheduled, but it does mean that fans will be really up for it, and hopefully the players are too. In terms of matchday atmosphere, I think it helps that our Round 1 match was away, so there's a real sense of anticipation ahead of what is now our home opener, especially as some parts of the stadium have been newly renovated in the off-season and will be open to fans for the first time this weekend. The crowd should be lively, so we just need the team to match the energy and deliver a result. Claire: First off, welcome back to K League 1. Incheon and their fans have got used to winning after a dominant season in K League 2. (How) has the brief sojourn in the second flight affected fans’ approach to the new season, and how will the club keep people on board when the wins aren’t coming as easily? Luke: I think the fans will give the club a grace period to readjust, especially since the opening fixtures are so tough. That said, there was still an expectation of a mid-table finish, with plenty of talk from the club to back that up. We’ve seen a massive turnover of around thirty players, and while I’m not sure how sustainable that is, the squad clearly needs time to mesh. How will the fans react if things haven’t improved following the March international break? That’s the big question. During the 2024 relegation season, the fans didn’t turn on the club or the players until the very end. Whether we’d see a similar level of patience this time around remains to be seen—but hopefully it won’t come to that. Luke: You went to the game in Gimcheon. How was Pohang's performance and did you feel a draw was a fair result? Was there anything you saw that made you optimistic for the year? Claire: Gimcheon away is always a tough fixture for us, but even so, it was one of those where I felt we should take the one point and be jolly well grateful for it. We conceded very early in the first half, and I spent the rest of the match with a sense of foreboding that I know perhaps a little too well as a Pohang and Everton supporter, but we clawed back an equaliser and held on until the end even after going down to ten men. Some of the players definitely showed tenacity and focus, but perhaps not until too late in the game. Unusually for the Steelers, the defence looked unsettled, and the overall work rate was disappointing. Sorry, did you ask a Pohang fan to be optimistic? I was pleased to see Pohang players actually attempting to shoot in situations where sometimes, in recent months, the ball has been endlessly passed around the edge of the box before eventually finding its way back to the goalkeeper for no good reason. There were moments of promise from some of the younger players in the squad, not to mention Jakob Tranziska scoring on his debut. His first touch was clumsy, but fans in the away end were soon commenting on his effort and stamina; the lad must have run miles just trying to get involved; he was locked in, and the goal felt deserved. More of that, please. Claire: 2026 has started with back-to-back losses. Meanwhile fellow promoted side Bucheon already have a win and a draw to their name. How important is it for Incheon to start getting points on the board early in the season, and where are those points going to come from? Luke: Bucheon’s start has been incredible; winning away at the champions and nearly taking a point from Daejeon in Round 2. They’re doing all this on a fraction of Incheon’s budget, too. From an Incheon point of view before the season, I think we would have targeted Gwangju and Anyang away for wins, plus hoped for a point or two against Seoul, Daejeon, or Pohang. But after losing to Seoul in that manner—and then the VAR incident at Gwangju—we’re now at the stage where we just need a win by any means necessary. You'd hope something clicks in the next three games, but honestly, we could be sitting bottom without any points by Round 5. The only realistic goal this year is avoiding twelfth, but regardless, Incheon need to start getting some points on the board. Claire: Having watched them play in the first two rounds, do you think Incheon have been unlucky or fairly beaten? Are there any particular on-pitch weaknesses or areas for concern already arising, and if so what changes are you hoping to see this weekend? Luke: I wouldn't say Incheon have been well-beaten in either game, but they have been naive. There have been a lot of sloppy passes from the defence and the midfield, and as a result, our front line hasn't had much opportunity. I'd like to see us play a little more directly and try to mix up our style. The club’s talk of a top-half finish always felt premature to me. After a year away, the priority has to be re-establishing ourselves. Other clubs will target us as 'beatable' simply because we’re the promoted side, and we have to shut that down immediately. We need to cultivate a grittier image and become more difficult to play against, stronger on the ball, and start physically bullying teams off it. The first two games were littered with individual errors that cost us. Kim Dong-heon and the backline need to be much smarter in possession. It comes down to the K League 1 learning curve: in the second division, the defence had time to play out from the back, but that same style is being punished at this level. We have to adapt, and fast. [Listen: The Back Post (Ep. 2)] Luke: Over the close season, there wasn't a huge amount of transfer activity for Pohang. Are there any weaknesses you think should have been addressed? Claire: The departure of Oberdan is a huge loss for Pohang, especially given his position right at the core of the squad, and I think beyond his skill and vision, perhaps we have taken for granted his ability to play, and play well, for a full 90 minutes, week in week out. Looking at our midfield now, I'm not sure if there's anyone who can do that. Nobody doubts Ki Sung-yueng's talent, but he isn't getting any younger — then again, even accounting for his time spent overseas he has far more K League 1 experience than the rest of our midfielders combined (Kim Beom-jun, who has just signed his first professional contract with the Steelers, hadn't been born yet when Ki made his K League debut). There's a lot of pressure on Nishiya Kento to fill the Oberdan-shaped gap, and maybe he will prove himself as the season goes on, but for the time being, it feels like there is an inherent instability, knowing the entire midfield will probably need to be subbed off. That comes at the cost of a change or two elsewhere, too. We're also potentially quite vulnerable to injury in that area, and may find ourselves relying on some youngsters to really step up a level. But hey, at least we have five goalkeepers! Luke: For the last four or five years, you've been consistently in the top half and even challenging for honours. What does a good season look like for Pohang this year? Claire: In terms of end results, I think the major aim is to qualify for the ACLE [Asian Champions League Elite]. To do that, we need to be more consistent within the season. Our next eight league fixtures are all at home then we're on the road until the end of July so I think it's going to be important for us to get as many points as we can over the next few weeks, make the Steelyard a place that other teams dread, and build momentum and confidence to carry us through that long run of away matches. Claire: Incheon don’t have a great track record against Pohang, especially at the Steelyard. What will be different this time? Luke: I'm hoping that the first two rounds act as a catalyst both for the manager and the team. Even though we control the ball and have lots of possession, we don't do a lot with it. We lose it and then we get punished. Seo Jae-min has been a stand-out so far and looks to be an exciting player. Oh Hu-seong is another shrewd signing. I'd hope that as these two players settle, they'll be the ones to create chances for the team. We definitely need to be more clinical; we need to start taking more risks and being more creative in the final third. Incheon haven't had a lot of attacking output so far, managing just six shots on target (minus penalties) across 180 minutes of football. Teams are happy to let us have the ball because they know we won't do much with it! Luke: Pohang are favourites and Incheon haven't won in their last five. Is this going to be an easy home win? Claire: I say it's a win, but Pohang lately have a habit of making things difficult. It's what the romantics call 'Park Tae-ha drama'. I'd like it to be an easy win, it should be an easy win, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us throw away an early lead and just barely stay in it (maybe even go behind) in the second half, causing half the home end to walk out and miss a Jorge injury time winner. Or something. Afterwards I'll say things like "what a match" and "that's why I love football" but what I'll really mean is "I hated this" and "just for once, please, could we win 5-0". Luke: I'd love a point, but I'm expecting a 3-1 Pohang win. Coverage Fans in Korea can watch Sunday's game on JTBC SPORTS or via Coupang Play.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Burnley fan Jack Toner and Tottenham Hotspur fan Ricky Saunders ahead of Saturday's important GW23 meeting at Turf Moor. For Tottenham however, a visit from Borussia Dortmund comes first and to the amazement of many Tottenham fans Thomas Frank remains in charge. Has he got to go? It looks an uphill task for Burnley to stay up, but they have drawn four of last six including against Manchester United and Liverpool in the last two. But have they themselves too much to do? And if so, how can they break this yo-yo cycle of promotion followed by relegation? There's a start or bench dilemma for Martin Dubravka owners this week, Clarets enablers are covered and there's coverage of Tottenham assets too. Burnley are 13 without a win, but Bournemouth were 11, and West Ham 10, ahead of playing Dr Tottenham...

Welcome back to another episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. This week the full squad return as Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright dive into the biggest stories in sport. We start with Gary’s recent trip to the F1, where he spent time behind the scenes with the Mercedes team. He shares what he learned from the experience and, with the title going down to the final race, who will be crowned champion in Abu Dhabi? Wrighty then reflects on the moment Laura Woods collapsed while the pair were working on punditry duty for the Lionesses. Everyone at The Overlap wishes Laura the very best and we’re all relieved to hear she is recovering well. The focus then turns to a chaotic week in football, with several teams battling for consistency. Spurs come under the spotlight as Thomas Frank faces early questions after a tough start to life in north London. The group also debate whether the standard of Premier League managers is dropping year by year, especially after the recent departures of some of the league’s biggest names. Super 6 returns too, with predictions ahead of a packed Premier League weekend. We take a look at the Championship as Frank Lampard’s Coventry continue their charge towards promotion, and later, Roy and Gary revisit an on-pitch clash they had during their Manchester United days. The team also react to Theo Walcott’s comments about players checking their phones at half time. Which team would you most love to see back in the Premier League?

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents!Things continue to tick along quite nicely down Bayview way. East Fife moved up to third in the Scottish League One table following the weekend win over Kelty Hearts in the Fife derby and now sit only three points off top spot. Could we be looking at back-to-back promotions or are we getting a little bit too ahead of ourselves?Michael, Aaron, and Andrew look back at the last couple of weeks that's seen East Fife win one and draw one in league play and continue to do well with another win in the Challenge Trophy. All of which has been done while missing a number of key starters due to injury. It's been incredible stuff and bodes well for what might be to come for the rest of the season. There's even a Dick Derby to look forward to!

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by John Cross, Riath Al-Samarrai and Jack Rosser to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We start with Liverpool’s fourth consecutive Premier League defeat — a run that John describes as “mind-blowing.” So, what’s gone wrong with their defence this season? Attention then shifts to Manchester United, who beat Brighton for a third consecutive win — the first under Ruben Amorim. Is this yet another false dawn, or does this one feel different? Riath remains unconvinced. Next up is West Ham United. After kicking off the weekend with a third straight league loss to Leeds, Jack doesn’t hold back — calling Nuno’s team “unbalanced, old, and slow.” We then move to league leaders Arsenal, flying high after six straight wins in all competitions and a dominant 4–0 midweek victory over Atlético Madrid. John says it’s shaping up to be a “spectacular” season for Arteta. We’re also joined by The Athletic’s Dermot Corrigan to chat all things El Clásico. For the first time, there’s major English involvement — Dermot highlights how Jude Bellingham has shone in previous clashes, and why Marcus Rashford could be crucial with Raphinha and Lewandowski out. Finally, a super start for newly promoted Sunderland, leaping to second in the Premier League after a dramatic win at Stamford Bridge, which had fans singing, “We’re going to win the league.” Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

It’s Round 19 of the VETO SPORTS State Leagues, and the pressure is mounting at the top. Watsonia Heights FC remain in first place, but every result matters as the season draws to a close. Their opponents — West Preston SC — sit fourth on the table and come into this clash full of momentum, having won five on the bounce. Before the action kicks off, we begin with Aaron Popovski's remarkable comeback story — a journey that embodies the resilience of this club. A battle at the sharp end of the table. Promotion hopes on the line.

We touch base with the equally dramatic title race in the Eredivisie - where Ajax’s nine-point lead at the top of the table has evaporated to just one.

The pressure was on for Nuno's men. They'd lost their last two games. They were down in seventh. Nuno himself (probably) had a crafty cig outside the stadium before kick-off. And yet they picked up a HUGE win at Spurs to return to third in the Premier League! Marcus and Vish react to a big night in Nottingham Forest's unlikely hunt for Europe and Tottenham Hotspur's equally unlikely hunt for 17th place. The lads mark a special anniversary and there's also some love for Leeds and Burnley, who were officially promoted back to the Premier League today! Burnley also won a Serie A title and aroused Fabio Capello, but keep listening for more on that... We’re going on tour! Get your tickets now: https://footballramblelive.com.

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents!We've seen it all from East Fife in their last two matches. The good, the bad, and the ugly all played out over 180 minutes of football. A heavy 5-2 loss at Edinburgh last weekend was certainly the ugly side of the team's season, sucking the hope out of fans and leaving us wondering whether we were even going to get promoted, never mind lifting the Scottish League 2 championship.We needed to see a response this past weekend against The Spartans, but by half time, another bad display that saw them trail by two seemed to have the wheels not so much fallen off, but melted down and thrown away. Then came the good. The very good. Almost the sublime, as East Fife put in a second half for the ages, playing free-flowing silky soccer, scoring four goals, and coming away with a 4-2 victory and a massive three points.Michael, Doug, Gordon, and Andrew are back to try and make sense about the last fortnight of action and what lies ahead down the stretch. Just what East Fife from the last two weeks are we going to see in the next five? Has the ship been steadied? If they play like they did in the second half against Spartans, can anyone stop them?

On The Fan View James is joined by new Leicester City Correspondent Sam Martin, in a get-to-know you Podcast discussing Sam's journey following The Foxes and how he feels about the current team. There's discussion on how the club dropped to League One and it's incredible rise to the summit of English football and Champions of England. But did the club forget who it was and its core in the years that followed as the club had near missing on Champions League qualification and an FA Cup victory? And what now of the current outlook? Can The Foxes beat the drop? Should we expect new additions in this window? And lots more, including some of James' recollections of the Leicester title run-in from the Tottenham perspective.

James is joined by Souuthampton fan Matt Samuel and Ipswich Town fan Paul Gaught-Allen ahead of the meeting between the two promoted clubs at St Mary's on Saturday. Both clubs remain winless, but the situation feels more troublesome at Southampton following their defeat at Manchester United and despite averaging a whopping 62% possession so far, they have only scored once. Ipswich have two points more following draws with Fulham and Brighton and now have an outstanding long-term fixture run on the horizon where they will hope to rise up the table. There's discussion on the 4.0 defensive assets including Taylor Harwoord-Bellis and Jacob Greaves, Ipswich's attacking talents for Fantasy and why despite their scoring assets James has two Southampton players high on his watchlist.
