Here are ours Previews and Prediction for the 2015 Korean FA Cup Final;
Korean FA Cup (KFA Cup) Final Preview & Prediction
FC Seoul vs. Incheon United
(1.30pm @ The Seoul World Cup Stadium)
FC Seoul
Road to the Final:
4th Round: 3 – 0 vs. Gyeongju HNP
5th Round: 2 – 1 vs. Hwaseong
Quarter Final: 2 – 1 vs. Pohang Steelers
Semi Final: 2 – 1 vs. Ulsan Hyundai
Form:
FC Seoul have won 4 and drawn 1 of their previous 5 games in all competitions and still have a shot at a champions league spot via league position. They’re unbeaten vs Incheon in their last 5 meetings and made the FA Cup Final last year (they lost vs. Seongnam).
Incheon United
Road to the Final:
4th Round: 2 – 0 vs. Bucheon 1995
5th Round: 1 – 0 vs. Cheonan City
Quarter Final: 2 – 0 (AET) vs. Jeju United
Semi Final: 2 – 0 (AET) vs. Jeonnam Dragons
Form:
Incheon have just one win from their last 5 games in all competitions, and are currently 7th placed in the K League Classic (top of the relegation round). They’ve lost 2 and drawn 1 of the 3 games vs. FC Seoul this season in the league.
This is a cup final and local derby so both teams will be giving 100% and therefore it will be very close. We feel that Seoul will edge it (maybe after extra time).
Prediction: 2 – 1
