Sunday in the K League Classic is a little quieter than Saturday with only 2 games, and there is only 1 game in the Challenge on Sunday as well (2 on Monday). However they are both key to the battle in the bottom half and with the mid-table being so close at the moment a couple of wins can springboard a side into the top half. The standout game is between Jeonnam Dragons and bottom side Incheon United, must win for both sides.
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 27th – Round 13)
Moving onto the days action, here are our brief previews and predictions for this Sundays 2 games;
Daegu vs. Sangju Sangmu @ 7pm
The first of Sundays games features 8th placed Sangju Sangmu and 11th placed Daegu. Daegu have lost 4 on the bounce, whilst Sangju Sangmu have only 1 point from their last 4 games.
Prediction: 1 – 1
Either side could win, but neither are playing confident football. Therefore a draw seems the likely outcome.

The 2nd of Sundays games in between 9th placed Jeonnam Dragons and bottom side Incheon United. Jeonnam have lost form recently losing 3 from 4 games. Whilst Incheon have only 1 win all season and struggle to score goals.
Prediction: 2 – 1
Jeonnam on paper have the edge, but Incheon aren’t an easy side to beat.

Prediction: 1 – 1
Bucheon 1995 are unpredictable, whilst Seongnam are still gelling as a team. A draw seem the likely outcome.

Bottom of the table clash that might sadly be a very low attendance. Ansan at home could have the edge.
