Jeonbuk Preview – Can Jeonbuk defend title?
Last season’s K-League 1 title-winners, Jeonbuk Motors, narrowly edged out their rivals and runners-up, Ulsan Hyundai, by a margin of an 8-goal difference to claim the domestic title, and having ended last term with an 8-match unbeaten run, Jeonbuk will be confident that they can continue this into this new campaign.
This solid end to last season’s campaign not only secured the league title but it also included a 2-0 home win over Friday’s upcoming opponents, Suwon Bluewings, and with a home record that ended the regular season on 10-5-2 31/14, the hosts stand a decent chance of making a good start here.
Jeonbuk Motors ended last term with 3 clean sheets from their last 4 matches on home turf at their Jeonju World Cup Stadium, and they’re also unbeaten in their last 5 meetings against Suwon Bluewings which will give them added confidence and belief ahead of Friday’s season-opener.
Suwon Bluewings Preview – Can Suwon make top six this term?
The visitors missed out on the top six cut at the end of last season by a 6-point margin behind 6th placed Gangwon, so Suwon Bluewings will be hoping that they can improve upon last season’s finish of 8th place this time around.
Suwon Bluewings therefore found themselves in the Relegation Round but they suffered just 1 defeat from their 5 matches in the second phase of the Korean top flight season which was a heavy 4-1 loss away from home at Sangju Sangmu, but earlier wins against Gyeongnam and Jeju United saw them avoid any trouble.
However, Suwon have struggled on the road in recent times in the K-League 1 and this is indicated by winning just 1 of their last 6 matches on their travels, and together with failing to beat Jeonbuk Motors in the previous 5 encounters, it could be a disappointing start to this new domestic top flight campaign for Suwon.
