This should be a rather interesting game between Gimcheon Sangmu FC and Jeonbuk FC in the K-League 1 on Matchday 2. The reigning champions suffered a shock defeat that threatened their title defence right on day one. The worst part is they now travel to a Gimcheon side that's dominated them in recent H2H. Check out the Sangmu vs Jeonbuk match prediction here.
The Green Warriors are off to a bad start after blowing the lead against newly-promoted Buncheon, who went on to win 3-2. Jeonbuk still dominated in possession and goals, but were largely caught off guard by the opponents’ late surge. What's for sure is that's not the kind of form Jeonbuk will want to be entering this game with.
Notably, Gimcheon beat them by that exact 3-2 scoreline in this exact stadium last time out. And, in fact, Bulsajo also won the prior meeting (2-1), extending their unbeaten run against Green Warriors to six of their last eight games. But given Gimcheon’s start, even without a defeat, you'd be right to question their chances.
Gimcheon were the underdogs as the match began, but the odds flipped in their favour when Pohang Steelers got a 70th-minute goal. The score was 1-1 before the red card, and still, Bulsajo couldn't capitalise in front of home fans.
