Match Results: Jeonbuk
Jeju Team Overview
Jeju's previous K League match ended in a 1-2 away defeat to Seoul. After a goalless first half, they scored once. They had more attacks than their opponents - 124 to 110 - but were outshot on target, 2-4.
Jeju sit above the champions despite losing ten players during the course of the season. Those departures have not held them back: in September the team picked up eight points from four matches, three of which were away from home. For that run, the league named Costa its manager of the month. On 10 October, leaders Seoul edged them by a single goal at home. Jeju could have taken a point, but a goal in the eighth minute of added time was ruled out for offside. After that match, Costa said the team would be without midfielder Italo in the next round, as he has picked up an injury. Defender Jang Min-gyu will also be absent - he becomes the eleventh player to leave the club.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
At home, Jeonbuk have failed to score in only two of their last 21 K League 1 matches, and their autumn dip has not changed that. Jeju have scored in 14 of their last 15 away league matches. A high-scoring affair is unlikely, though. Jeonbuk have not scored more than two goals against Jeju in 21 consecutive K League 1 head-to-head meetings. And in their last eight K League 1 meetings with Jeonbuk, Jeju have managed to score twice on just one occasion. We expect both teams to find the net. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
