Jeonbuk Motors vs Incheon United Prediction
The fixture heavily favours the hosts, both historically and on current form. Their recent surge has been key to Jeonbuk cutting the gap with Ulsan. A victory on Saturday will put more pressure on the leaders.
Incheon, meanwhile, will be eyeing an upset in a fixture that has historically deprived them of joy. A victory for Incheon would be their first since the 2019 K1 season. Nonetheless, Jeonbuk walk in as the favourites and are expected to take all three points.
Prediction: Jeonbuk Motors 3-1 Incheon United.
