Jeonbuk Motors are forced to fight for survival after finishing fourth in the K League 1. The team narrowly escaped relegation, finishing three points ahead of last-placed Incheon United.

1.63Tip and bets
Even if we do not take into account the fact that the clubs play in different divisions, it is obvious that the visitors are in better shape. They have not lost for five matches in a row, including on the continental arena, and the hosts barely avoided defeat from Jeonnam in the playoff match. We believe that in the first playoff match, the representative of the elite division will prove its superiority.
Our prediction is a victory for Jeonbuk Motors at 2.15
Bet on total
Surely, in the first match, both teams will rely on attack in order to gain an advantage before the return match. Most likely, not much attention will be paid to defense, so there is every chance to see a productive game.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
We don't think either team will be playing defensively in the first leg of the match, so we'll probably see a fair number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners for 1.80
