The first K League 1 game of Sunday will see reigning champions Jeonbuk FC host newly promoted Bucheon FC in Matchday 1. Expect end-to-end action as the Green Warriors look to mount a strong early title defence against a Reds City Bucheon, who'll be fighting to remain a top-flight team next season. See our match prediction below.
The league ended last November, but Jeonbuk has already gotten a taste of competitive action this year. The Green Warriors just beat rivals Daejong Hana 2-0 to win the K-League Super Cup. Excluding friendlies, Jeonbuk has now played two finals in a row, winning both of them with two goals.
That's what you can expect from champions, and what we may be in store for when they face Bucheon. But it's going to be anything but a walk in the park for Jeonbuk. Reds City Bucheon are now unbeaten in 11 straight competitive games and haven't lost in their last five away from home.
The dream for new boys will be to repeat their 2016 and 2017 upsets over Jeonbuk in the Korean Cup. Despite operating in the second division at the time, Buncheon beat Jeonbuk 3-1 in 2016 and then knocked them out the following year on penalties.

Our Jeonbuk FC vs Bucheon FC Prediction
We're backing the underdogs here to at least get one goal against the Green Warriors on Sunday. And that is mostly due to both teams' scoring and conceding trends in their latest competitive matches. However, on top of that, Reds City Bucheon also brings strong momentum and incentives into this game.
They've just gained promotion to the top-flight for the first time in their history and are surely planning for a long stay. How they perform against the champions on the opening day could set the tempo for what could be a poor or successful season. Hence, our Jeonbuk FC vs Bucheon FC prediction is Bucheon over 0.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
