The K League Classic moves into the 28th round of the season, and with not much time left in the main season (i.e. before the split) so every game is important. Also September is another busy month with at least 5 games each as well as the distraction of the Asian Games (currently going on in Incheon).
Also FC Seoul played Gyeongnam during the week due to their midweek trip to Australia next week in the Asian Champions League.
The result was:
FC Seoul 1 – 1 Gyeongnam
K League Classic League Table
As there has now been 27 games played (so only 6 games to go in the main season) and everybody has played each other at least twice and the table to starting to take shape. So for reference here is the latest K League Classic 2014 League Table; including Games Played, Points and Goal Difference:

Saturday September 27th 2014:
Jeju United vs. Incheon United (2pm)
This weekends first game is between 3rd placed Jeju United and 8th placed Incheon United.
Jeju United are unbeaten in 7 (last two results were draws), and have only lost 5 times all season.
Incheon United have just 1 win in 5 and are weak away from home with just 1 win on the road all season.
Jeju will be the slight favorites to end this one.

Busan I’Park have only 1 win from their previous 18 league games.
Seongnam have just 1 win in 9, and have only scored 5 goals away from home all season.
This one should be close and we see it ending in a draw.
Prediction: 0 – 0
Sangju Sangmu vs. Suwon Bluewings (4pm)
Saturdays final game is top of the table clash between 9th placed Sangju Sangmu and 3rd placed Suwon Bluewings
Sangju Sangmu have lost 3 of their last 4 games, but did win the other.
