The K League Classic season comes to a close on Sunday Afternoon, with the final champions league spot the only prize on offer. Jeonbuk Hyundai have won the league whilst Jeju United have secured 2nd place. Suwon Bluewings, Ulsan Hyundai and maybe FC Seoul still have a shot at that final spot. All 3 games could have an impact, but Suwon have the edge and need a win to maintain 3rd.

K League Classic 2017 League Table Update
Note Doesn’t Include Saturday’s Results
Top Half: Jeonbuk Hyundai are currently top the table 9 points and champions. In the champions league spots are Jeju United and Suwon Bluewings. Ulsan Hyundai and FC Seoul are a little behind them. Finally Gangwon complete the top half.
Bottom Half: Pohang Steelers and Daegu are both safe for another season. Incheon, Jeonnam and Sangju are separated by a point in the battle to avoid the relegation playoff. Finally Gwangju complete the table 5 points adrift and relegated.
Basically on Sunday if Suwon win they’ll finish 3rd. If they lose and Ulsan win then Ulsan win finish 3rd. FC Seoul require both Suwon and Ulsan to lose and to win by a monstrous margin.
