K League Classic 2017 Previews & Predictions (Sunday October 15th – Round 34)
Moving onto the days action, here are our brief previews and predictions for this Sundays games;
Jeonbuk Hyundai vs. FC Seoul @ 3pm (Championship)
Prediction: 1 – 0
The anti-super match of sorts between the two biggest sides currently in the K League Classic. League leaders Jeonbuk and defending champions are evenly matched on paper, however form wise Jeonbuk should have a narrow edge.
Suwon Bluewings vs. Ulsan Hyundai @ 3pm (Championship)
Prediction: 1 – 1
A big game in the hunt for a Champions League spot. With Johnathan back for Suwon we see them edging this one and moving back into the top 4 and the race to Asia 2018.
Jeonnam Dragons vs. Gwangju @ 3pm (Relegation)
Prediction: 1 – 2
A relegation 6-pointer here, and one we see going a little against the bookies with Gwangju winning. They have everything to lose as defeat could send them down, so we see them winning.
