The K League Classic moves into round 20 on this American Independence Day Weekend, with some teams leading the way and others falling behind. The highlight game this weekends round is the bottom vs. top clash between Daejeon Citizen and Jeonbuk Hyundai, neither side has had much luck recently so this could go either way and should be at least entertaining.
Updated K League Classic League Table
The league table is still close in the middle but gaps have started to appear. Jeonbuk Hyundai have lost some of their lead recently at the top but still are 7 points clear. Suwon and Pohang are just behind them, with Seoul, Jeonnam and Incheon United completing the top half. Seongnam, Jeju and Gwangju are separated by just 2 points in 7th-9th. Then come Ulsan, Busan and finally Daejeon who are 8 point adrift completing the table.

Busan have just 1 win in 7, and have lost 3 on the bounce.
Seongnam have won their last 2 games, and have lost just once in 5.
Seongnam will be the favorites here but it will be a close game.
Prediction: 0 – 1
Jeju United vs. Incheon United (7pm)
Jeju United have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their previous 5 games.
Incheon United are unbeaten in 4, winning 3 of those and have the tightest defense in the league.
Jeju United are generally strong at home, and with Incheon’s improved form recently this looks like a close game and a likely draw.
Prediction: 0 – 0

FC Seoul have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 games.

Daejeon Citizen have only picked up 8 points all season, but drawn 2 of their last 5.
League leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai have only 2 wins in their last 5 games, but they’re still 7 points clear.
