On Saturday morning, Jeonbuk Motors hosts Incheon United as the home side looks to move closer to K League 1 leaders Ulsan at the top of the table.
The home side is currently in second place in the K League 1 standings, five points adrift of leaders Ulsan. Kim Sang-Sik’s team head into this potentially tricky clash on a fine recent run of form in K League 1.
Jeonbuk are unbeaten in five South Korean top-flight matches, having recorded four wins and a draw. Last time out, they recorded a 1-0 win at Seoul.
Their recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their previous 11 league outings.
Jeonbuk Motors have found home wins difficult to come by of late, as they have won just one of their previous eight games on home soil. However, they have drawn four of their last six home matches in K League 1.
The visitors have endured a relatively inconsistent league campaign so far, picking up 29 points from 20 matches in the K League 1 this season.
Their recent run of mixed form sums up Incheon United’s inconsistent form in the league this season, as they have won just one of their last five matches in the K League 1.
A 1-0 home defeat by Suwon last time out means that five of Incheon United’s last seven games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Jo Sung-Hwan’s team has struggled to pick up wins on their travels of late in the K League 1, as they are winless in their last six away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that this clash will end in a goalless draw, which is unsurprising considering the relative lack of goals in the respective team’s recent league matches.
