Seoul take on the visitors Daejeon in the round 20 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Saturday, June 1st at Seoul World Cup Stadium (Seoul).
Seoul are having a better season than their opponent and currently sits in the top 3 of the table. However, the bookmakers are not quick to designate the capital team as the clear favorite in the match, offering decent odds for a victory. I wouldn't be surprised if the hosts lose points in this encounter, but they should at least score a goal. In the last five league rounds, Seoul failed to score only once, but that match was an away game against Daegu. Among the team's recent results, we can highlight home victories against Gangwon (1-0) and a draw with Pohang (1-1), as well as an away victory over Suwon Bluewings (1-0) and a draw with Incheon (1-1).

Jeonnam Citizen are currently outside the top 6 in the table but is making a strong push to get there. In fact, they are only five points behind Seoul in the distance. The guests are capable of testing the nerves of the six-time national champions in this match. It is quite likely that Jeonnam Citizen won't lose here and is more than capable of finding the opponent's net at least once. The team has shown stability in the last five league matches: a victory over Gangwon (2-1), a defeat to Incheon United (1-3), draws with Daejeon Hana Citizen (1-1), Gwangju FC (1-1), and Jeonbuk Motors (3-3).
Yes, the hosts are still the favorites in this match. However, the guests have not left the field without scoring for quite some time. Jeonnam Citizen's style of play allows both themselves and the opponent to attack. Hence, in the last five league matches, this team consistently scores and concedes goals. Seoul has played two matches on their home ground in the previous three league games. I believe the bet could pay off in the head-to-head encounter between these teams. In 2020, when they were still playing in the second league, Jeonnam Citizen gave a tough time to the capital giants in the cup, taking the match to a 1-1 draw in regular time. And in this season, they even defeated Seoul 3-2. Moreover, there was an exchange of goals in their recent direct confrontation before halftime.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
