The two teams occupy the first and second spots in the rankings this season.
Heungkuk Life Insurance Co. (8 wins, 2 losses, 23 points) is at the top of the rankings. Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. will follow suit (7 wins, 2 losses, 21 points).
Depending on the outcome of the meeting, Heungkuk Life's dominance may be further strengthened or the No. 1 ranking may change.
The two teams will reunite for the first time in 36 days since the 19th of last month, the season opener.
The winner of the first meeting was Heungkuk Life. At that time, Heungkuk Life defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 3-1.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, which opened the season with a victory, is showing no hesitation. Since then, it has won all seven games and has won eight consecutive games.
The unrivaled ace, Kim Yeon-koung, has been showing off her unwavering presence this season. On top of that, even Tutku, a new foreign player, showed off her outstanding skills, and the wings of Heungkuk Life are on the rise.
Heungkuk Life struggled at the professional volleyball cup tournament ahead of the season's opening, failing to advance to the semifinals, but it is showing a fierce appearance when their hands and feet match.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction, the "defending champion," met Heungkuk Life Insurance, which collapsed in the championship game last season, in its first game of this season and suffered a defeat.
Leaving the disappointment behind, he gained strength from the second game and swept away his wins from the next seven games. Middle blockers Yang Hyo-jin and Lee Da-hyun, "Twin Tower," have been outmaneuvering their opponents this year, boasting their robustness.
However, ahead of their second showdown with Heungkuk Life Insurance Co., Ltd. on Monday, they were beaten by IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, ending their seven-game winning streak. They had a tight race in the full set, but failed to win eight consecutive games due to IBK's loss.
If the winning mode is not quickly activated again after a long winning streak is over, the atmosphere may stagnate further.
If Hyundai Engineering & Construction loses in the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance on Monday, it will face its first losing streak of this season. If so, it will not only widen its gap with Heungkuk Life Insurance but also face strong pursuit from IBK Industrial Bank, which has been on the rise recently.
On the other hand, if Heungkuk Life is captured, it will be an opportunity to change the flow at once.
The same holds true for Heungkuk Life Insurance. This could be a chance to push Hyundai Engineering and Construction further and boost its momentum, and a crisis that allows counterattacks.
Both teams are well aware of the weight of the game.
"It won't be an easy match," Kim said. "The team knows how important this match is. I hope we prepare well and win."
"Any team faces a crisis. We will overcome it well and solve it," said Kang Sung-hyung, head coach of Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
