Gimcheon vs Jeonbuk Motors Prediction
Gimcheon have had a Cinderella story this season, defying pre-season permutations to be in the hunt for the league title. The newly-promoted side were leading the table heading into the last matchday but their loss saw them drop to second. Chung Jung-yong's side have an opportunity to immediately get back on track in front of their fans.
Jeonbuk Motors, by contrast, have struggled this season but their mid-week victory saw them climb off the foot of the table. Their games in recent weeks have been typically entertaining with plenty of goals.
