1.64Tip and bets
The opponents will probably try to play cautiously, because the final is at stake and any mistake in defense can knock the team out of the tournament. Obviously, both teams want to fight for the trophy, so it is unlikely that we should expect sloppiness in defense. Most likely, we will have a closed match, so it is worth betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on the outcome
The hosts are performing worse in the championship, but the cup is their last hope to save the season. The visitors are in the midst of a fight for the top three in the championship, so it is unlikely that the coaching staff of the Pohang Steelers will make the cup performance a priority. Let's make a choice in favor of the underdog of the confrontation.
Bet - Handicap (0) on Jeju United. This bet is offered with odds of 2.15
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the teams will force the events in attack, so we do not think that the opponents are counting heavily on corners.
Bet - total under 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.77
