K League Classic 2017 Previews & Predictions (Saturday September 23rd – Round 31)
Moving onto the days action, here are our brief previews and predictions for this Saturdays games;
Incheon United vs. Suwon Bluewings @ 6pm
Prediction: 1 – 0
Incheon are unbeaten and haven’t conceded a goal in 6 games. Suwon are lacking form and Johnathan. Therefore a narrow Incheon win seems the likely outcome.
Ulsan Hyundai vs. Jeonnam Dragons @ 6pm
Prediction: 2 – 0
Ulsan are strong at home and on solid form. Whilst Jeonnam haven’t won since the start of August and are weak away from home. Ulsan will be favorites here.
Sangju Sangmu vs. Jeju United @ 7pm
Prediction: 1 – 3
Sangju Sangmu have won two on the bounce including a win over leader Jeonbuk on Wednesday. However Jeju United have won 8 and drawn 2 of their last 10 games. Even away from home we see them edging this one.
