This round of games take place on Saturday (3) and Sunday (3). All of the games take place in the early evening. Here are our previews of this weekend K League Classic Round 23 Games (sorry a little brief);
Saturday July 25th 2015:
FC Seoul vs. Incheon United (7pm)
FC Seoul haven’t won in 3 games on the bounce in the league, but won in the FA Cup during the week vs. Pohang.
Incheon United have the tightest defense in the league, conceding just 17 goals all season. They also won in the cup beating Jeju away.
Always a close game as it’s a derby and see honestly see a draw.
Prediction: 2 – 2

Ulsan Hyundai have only won twice in 18 games and are currently down in 10th place.
Seongnam have won 4 of their last 5 games, helping them move up to 5th.
These played on Wednesday evening in the FA Cup with Ulsan winning after extra time. However Seongnam in the league recently have been strong and we see them edging it on the road.
Prediction: 0 – 1
Pohang Steelers vs. Gwangju (7pm)
Pohang Steelers looked to have regained a little form last time out beating Seoul 3-1 on the road.
Gwangju won for the first time in 6 games 2 weeks ago.
Both sides seem to be regaining a little form, however we see Pohang at home edging this one.
Prediction: 1 – 0
Sunday July 26th 2015:
Jeonbuk Hyundai vs. Suwon Bluewings (7pm)
League leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai have 3 wins and 3 draws from their last 6 games.
Suwon Bluewings have 3 wins and 2 draws from their previous 5 games.
1st vs. 2nd of course will be a close game and we see a quality draw here.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Busan I’Park vs. Daejeon Citizen (7pm)
Busan have just 1 win in 10, with only 1 point from their last 6.
Daejeon Citizen have only picked up 8 points all season, and have lost their last 5 straight.
A parallel game to the 1st of Sundays fixtures as these are the bottom two clubs. However we see Busan edging it.
Prediction: 2 – 1

Jeonnam Dragons have only lost 1 in 9, and progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup during the week.
Jeju United have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their previous 7 games. With showing a real mix of form.
Jeonnam will be favorites here as they’re on form and Jeju United don’t travel well.
