After a week to forget in the Asian Champions League focus returns to the K League Season, and the final round of afternoon games (most game take place in the evening as of next week). Saturday featured 2 games Gangwon v Daegu & Gwangju v Incheon United, both games of course feature sides at the bottom of the table.
A quick reminder that this season we’re going to the covering each match day separately (the last few seasons it’s been each round). Making the posts a little shorter and focused on a day. Video Highlights, Goal Updates and more via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

K League Classic 2017 Previews & Predictions (Saturday May 13th – Round 11)
Moving onto the days action, here are our brief previews and predictions for this Saturdays 2 games;
Gwangju vs. Incheon United @ 3pm
The first game of the day features the league lowest scorers Gwangju and the leagues worst defence Incheon United. Gwangju have only 2 wins this season (both at home) and were smashed last weekend 5-0 by Jeonnam Dragons. Whilst Incheon have just a single win all season. But Incheon have been extremely unlucky with poor decisions given against them. Strangely Gwangju are evens in win.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Two of the league weakest team both can’t afford to lose and therefore a draw seems the likely outcome.
Gangwon vs. Daegu @ 3pm
In the days featured game improving Gangwon host Daegu. Gangwon have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5, including a 2-1 win over Incheon last weekend. Daegu have lost 4 of their last 5 games, slipping down to 11th. However that solo win was against FC Seoul.
Prediction: 2 – 1
Gangwon edged Incheon last weekend and we them doing the same against Daegu this weekend.

K League Challenge 2017 League Table Update
The league table after ten games has Gyeongnam topping the table 4 points clear, followed by Busan I’Park, Asan Mugunghwa and Bucheon 1995 who currently fill the playoff places. Suwon FC and FC Anyang follow close behind. Then we have a 6 point gap to Seoul E-Land, Ansan Greeners, Seongnam FC and finally we have Daejeon Citizen who are bottom.
K League Challenge 2017 Predictions (Saturday May 13th – Round 12)
Here are predictions for this Saturday’s K League Challenge games;
Ansan Greeners vs. Suwon FC @ 3pm
Prediction: 1 – 2
A pretty even game on paper, but Suwon have been improving recently and the leaky Ansan defense is a worry.
Seongnam FC vs. FC Anyang @ 3pm
Prediction: 1 – 1
Both sides are in form and therefore a draw seems the likely outcome.
Gyeongnam vs. Seoul E-Land @ 5pm
Prediction: 3 – 1
E-Land might be undefeated in 4 games, but top of the league Gyeongnam will be the favorites to win.
