K League Classic 2015 Round 5 Previews & Predictions
This round of games are split between Saturday (3) and Sunday (3). Games take place in the early to mid afternoons from now until the summer. Here are brief previews of this weekends K League Classic Round 5 Games;
Saturday April 11th 2015:
Daejeon Citizen vs. Ulsan Hyundai (2pm)
Saturdays first 2pm game features bottom side Daejeon Citizen and league leaders Ulsan Hyundai.
Daejeon Citizen have lost all of their game so far this season.
Ulsan Hyundai on the other hand are unbeaten with 3 wins and a draw from their opening 4 games.
Ulsan will be obvious favorites in this one.
Prediction: 1 – 3
Seongnam FC vs. Busan I’Park (2pm)
Saturdays 2nd 2pm game is between Seongnam FC and Busan I’Park.
Seongnam FC won for the first time last weekend giving them 4 points from their first 4 games.
Busan I’Park also have 4 points from their opening 4 games.
These sides are tied on points and goal difference, therefore a draw seems the most likely outcome.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Jeju United vs. Pohang Steelers (2pm)
Saturdays late game features the 2 mid-table sides as Jeju United host Pohang Steelers.
Jeju United lost their unbeaten record last weekend and have 5 points from their opening 4 games.
Pohang Steelers have recorded 2 wins and 2 defeats so far this season.
This one looks like it will be an entertaining game, but overall we see a draw.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Sunday April 12th 2015:
Incheon United vs. FC Seoul (4pm)
Sundays early game is a local derby between Incheon United and FC Seoul.
Incheon United are still looking for their first win of the season with 2 points from their opening 4 games.
FC Seoul picked up their first points of the season last weekend with a win over Jeju United.
This is always an exciting game and rarely disappoints. However scoreline wise we see this being a draw.
Prediction: 2 – 2
Jeonnam Dragons vs. Suwon Bluewings (2pm)
Sundays second game features Jeonnam Dragons hosting 3rd placed Suwon Bluewings.
Jeonnam Dragons are currently unbeaten with 3 draws and 1 win.
Suwon Bluewings are on a great run with 3 wins on the bounce.
This will be an even game, however Suwon’s form might give them the edge.
Prediction: 0 – 1
Gwangju vs. Jeonbuk Hyundai (4pm)
Sundays late game features 2 sides who’ve started the season well as Gwangju host Jeonbuk Hyundai in Mokpo.
Gwangju lost for the first time this season last weekend, but have 7 points from their 4 games so far.
Jeonbuk Hyundai are unbeaten this season with 3 wins and a draw from their 4 games.
This should be a close game but we see Jeonbuk having the edge.
