Jeonbuk Motors hosts Suwon Bluewings in round 1 of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Friday, May 8th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium (Jeonju)
K-1 League is back! Predictions for the matches of the first round of any championship are very difficult to make. It is not clear what shape the teams will have at the start. But I will try. I do not think that there will be a sensation in the first match of the current champion of the country. Moreover, the favorite plays at home. Jeonbuk is the best club in the country in recent years. Last season, the Motors footballers won their third champion’s title in a row. Jeonbuk gained eight home victories in 17 games of the main part of the season. If we take home championship matches, the team gained 12 victories in 20 of them. Of course, statistics are not crazy, but good.

Suwon cannot be called the strongest rival. The last champion’s title dates back to 2008. In the last three seasons, the team did not even get into the top five clubs of the league. First, it took sixth place twice, and last season it finished on the eighth line.
Statistics of head-to-head meetings are also in favor of the favorite. Jeonbuk won in six of the last ten head-to-head matches, that is, in more than half. The last four games ended in three victories. The last one, which was played on Jeonbuk’s field, also ended with a confident victory of the hosts (2-0). My prediction is the victory of Jeonbuk Motors.
Prediction for the match: Jeonbuk to win
