Table-toppers Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors are heavily favored to extend their five-match winning streak when they host bottom-placed Daegu FC at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Saturday, August 16, with kick-off set for 15:30 KST.
Jeonbuk come into this K League 1 fixture full of confidence after a 2-1 home win over FC Anyang, where Jin-Seob Park and Seung-Woo Lee found the net. The Motors controlled the game with 58% possession and look set to dominate again.
Daegu, meanwhile, are still searching for form. They managed a 2-2 draw against FC Seoul in their last outing, thanks to goals from Cesinha and Chi-In Jung. However, the North Gyeongsang side remains rooted to the bottom of the table and face a daunting challenge against the in-form league leaders.
Jeonbuk are strong favorites in the betting markets, with punters eyeing the Asian Handicap at -1.5 (odds 1.89), expecting a two-goal win or more from the hosts.
With both teams heading in opposite directions on the table, all eyes will be on whether Jeonbuk can deliver another dominant display and strengthen their grip on the title race.
