Gimcheon Sangmu vs Jeonbuk Motors Prediction

This fixture overwhelmingly favors the visitors in terms of their recent form and head-to-head record against their opponents. Jeonbuk still have a lot of ground to cover to reach leaders Ulsan, and they will look at this match as an opportunity to secure another three points.

For the hosts, it will be nothing short of an upset if they manage to pick up all three points from this tie. The last time they won this fixture was back in the 2017 K1 season. Since then, they have been winless. We expect Jeonbuk Motors to secure a comfortable win.

Prediction: Gimcheon Sangmu 1-3 Jeonbuk Motors
