FC Seoul vs. Suwon Bluewings @ 3pm (Championship)
Prediction: 2 – 2
The 4th Super Match of the season is the obvious highlight of the weekend, both sides need to win to stay in contention for a Champions League spot. Seoul undefeated in 5, Suwon in 4. This one could go either way and VAR maybe involved. We see it ending 2-2.
Jeonnam Dragons vs. Pohang Steelers @ 3pm (Relegation)
Prediction: 1 – 3
Jeonnam have lost 4 on the bounce, whilst Pohang looked impressive hammering Incheon last weekend. Pohang will start as favorites.
Daegu vs. Incheon United @ 3pm (Relegation)
Prediction: 2 – 1
Daegu seem to be scoring for fun recently and the trio of Brazilians are finally proving valuable. Incheon need to find something late in the season, we see Daegu edging this one.
