Jeju United

The team, unlike its opponent, played one game more in the national cup, as it started from the 1/16 finals, where it overcame the resistance of Cheonan City in a penalty shootout, as well as in the next stage against Daejeon Citizen. In the quarterfinals, it almost came down to penalties again in the game against Gimpo, if not for a precise strike by Brazilian substitute Yuri Jonathan in the 92nd minute of the match.

1.63Tip and bets
In the last five matches played by the hosts, more than two goals were scored. We believe that this statistic will be maintained, because Plohan Steelers will take risks and will most likely play attacking football, and Jeju United will not stand aside. Most likely, the goal-scoring extravaganza in the match will take place, as in the last face-to-face game.
Betting Tip - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.93
Bet on the outcome
The visiting team's chances of winning are slim. Moreover, the hosts are the favorites of today's meeting and show a different game in the national cup, unlike the domestic championship. "Bad Steelers" won their last victory in the Cup, and we believe that today the team will take advantage of its field and leave no chance for the opponent.
Prediction - Bad Steelers win with odds of 2.02
Betting on Team Goals
The opponents will try to seize the initiative as quickly as possible and hit each other's goal. In the three previous personal meetings of the opponents, both teams scored, and we believe that in this match the exchange of goals will take place.
Prediction: both teams to score with odds of 1.78
