The K League Classic moves into round 12 this weekend roughly a third of the way through the main part of the season. The highlight game this week in our opinion is the Monday (Buddha’s Birthday) game between local rivals Ulsan Hyundai and Pohang Steelers.
Updated K League Classic League Table
The league table is still developing as only 11 games have been played. Jeonbuk have already built a 8 point lead at the top, then we have Suwon who are 5 points ahead of 3rd place. 3rd to 10th are separated by just 2 points. Busan I’Park and Daejeon Citizen are both starting to drift away at the bottom.
K League Classic 2015 Round 12 Previews & Predictions
This round of games take place on Saturday (2), Sunday (1) and Monday (1), only 4 games this weekend due to games being moved because of the Asian Champions League. Games still take place in the early to mid afternoons from now until the summer (although with temperatures in the mid 20s it’s not really spring). Here are our previews of this weekends K League Classic Round 12 Games (sorry a little brief again);
Saturday May 23rd 2015:
Jeju United vs. Jeonnam Dragons (3pm)
Jeju United are currently 3rd but have lost their last 2 games.
Jeonnam Dragons have done worse still losing 2 and drawing 1 of their past 3.
Jeju are strong at home and will be the favorites.
Prediction: 2 – 0
Jeonbuk Hyundai vs. Incheon United (4pm)
League leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai have won 6 of their last 7 games and have a 8 point lead at the top of the table.
Incheon United have won three in a row and are unbeaten in 7.
Both sides are on strong form and therefore we see an entertaining draw.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Sunday May 24th 2015:
Gwangju vs. Busan I’Park (2pm)
Gwangju have picked up 6 points from their last 5 games, with only 1 defeat.
Busan have lost there last two, but are only 1 place below Gwangju.
This one looks close on paper, however we feel Gwangju will edge it at home.
Prediction: 2 – 1
Monday May 25th 2015:
Ulsan Hyundai vs. Pohang Steelers (2pm)
Ulsan Hyundai haven’t won in 7 games and losing their past 3 straight.
Pohang Steelers are winless in 4 games, but still sit in 4th place.
This is a local derby between 2 sides struggling for form, we see this being an interesting game but ultimately a draw.
Prediction: 2 – 2
