Jeonbuk vs Daejeon Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
🔊 Before the season, many K League coaches and players named Daejeon as the main favourites, while Jeonbuk Motors were out to defend their title.

Both sides are competing with Ulsan and Gangwon for second place. In early October, Daejeon beat their opponents 2-1 - Jeonbuk Motors' only defeat in their last nine head-to-head meetings. Can the visitors repeat that?

Head-to-head statistics Jeonbuk - Daejeon

Jeonbuk Team Overview
Jeonbuk Motors' most recent AFC Champions League match ended in a 2-2 draw with Beijing Guoan. Despite having just 36% possession, Jeonbuk had one more shot than their opponents - 15 to 14 - while shots on target were level at 5-5.
Jeonbuk Motors last kept a clean sheet on 5 September, when they beat Pohang. Since then, Jeong Jong-yeon's side have conceded in nine consecutive matches. This is a defence that has let in 33 goals in the league - only Seoul and Gangwon have conceded fewer. It is the attack keeping them in points: Jeonbuk Motors have scored in seven consecutive K League matches. Even so, wins remain hard to come by - just one in their last three league games. There was no clean sheet on Tuesday either: in the AFC Champions League, Jeonbuk Motors drew away to Beijing Guoan 2-2.

Daejeon Team Overview
Daejeon Citizen lost to Vissel Kobe (0:1) in their most recent AFC Champions League match. The hosts significantly outshot their opponents - 19:10, including shots on target 5:3 - but failed to score.
Daejeon Citizen have improved noticeably over the autumn. A comeback win over Anyang on 9 September only lifted them to sixth place, but they are now third. Their main strength is attack: 53 goals, with only Seoul having scored more. The character of the side was on show in the match against Gwangju on 18 October, when the opposition scored twice before half-time. After a break extended by heavy rain, Daejeon equalised and snatched the win in stoppage time. There was a setback on Tuesday, when Hwang Sun-hong's side lost at home to Vissel Kobe in the AFC Champions League (0-1). That is their only defeat in their last ten matches.

Prediction for the 1st half
Jeonbuk Motors have scored in the first half in five consecutive matches. The risk is that their home first halves tend to end level - that has been the case in 6 of their last 7 home matches. We still expect the hosts to score before half-time, even if the score is level at the break. The bet is Jeonbuk Motors 1st Half Team Total - Over 0.5.
Match Result Prediction
Daejeon Citizen are on a nine-match unbeaten run. Away from home this season, they have seven wins and four draws. Jeonbuk Motors have won only half of their 16 home matches. The head-to-head record is a concern for the visitors: Daejeon have beaten Jeonbuk just once in their last nine meetings. A draw would be enough for them. The bet is Daejeon Citizen not to lose.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12.21%), 2-1 (8.39%) and 1-0 (7.82%), with 1-1 having the highest probability of the three.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Jeonbuk Motors' last five K League matches have all seen both teams score. Daejeon Citizen have scored in nine consecutive away matches, but they have also conceded in 8 of their last 9 away games. That suits the hosts: Jeonbuk Motors have scored in eight consecutive home matches. We're expecting goals at both ends. Our bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
