The K League Classic moves into the 29th 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 October is the final month of the main season.
Also the game between FC Seoul and Ulsan Hyundai has been postponed because of the FC Seoul vs. Western Sydney Wanderers (in Australia).
K League Classic League Table
As there has now been 28 games played (so only 5 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:
The league table does make for interesting reading and there are a number of tight areas. With so few games to go in the pre-split period of the season we’re going to have a quick look at that. Ulsan and Incheon are the only 2 sides still able to reach the top half, although Incheon are 14 points adrift with only 5 games (15 points) to go. All of the top half teams could be caught however only Jeonnam, Seoul and Jeju look in any potential trouble.
K League Classic 2014 Round 28 Previews & Predictions
This midweek round of games all take place on Wednesday evening either at 7pm or 7.30pm. Here are brief previews of the K League Classic Round 29 Games;
Wednesday October 1st 2014:
Gyeongnam vs. Pohang Steelers (7pm)
This Wednesdays first game is between 3rd placed Jeju United and 8th placed Incheon United.
Gyeongnam maybe 11th but have only lost 1 in 4.
Pohang Steelers have drawn and lost their previous 2 games, but did win the 2 before that.
Pohang will be slight favorites, but we personally feel this will be a draw.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Jeonbuk Hyundai vs. Jeju United (7pm)
Wednesdays 2nd game is a clash between leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai and 4th placed Jeju United
Jeonbuk have won 2 but drawn 3 of their last 5 games.
Jeju United have lost 1 and drawn 2 of their last 3 games.
Neither side is on good form and a draw looks likely.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Seongnam FC vs. Jeonnam Dragons (7.30pm)
Wednesdays 3rd game is a battle between 10th placed Seongnam FC and 6th placed Jeonnam Dragons.
Seongnam have just 1 win in 10, and have only scored 19 goals all season.
Jeonnam have only won 1 in 5.
Jeonnam should win this one on paper, but it will be close.
Prediction: 0 – 1
Busan I’Park vs. Sangju Sangmu (7.30pm)
