On Sunday, at 10:30, Gyeongnam receives Jeonnam’s visit in the inaugural stage of the second league in South Korea.
Changwon Football Center Stadium duels two teams that place great value on defense. Last season, Gyeongnam relegated from the first league, because it failed to score in the last three stages: 0-0 with Incheon and Busan, respectively 0-2 also with Busan. However, the level in K2 is lower and this should benefit the red and whites. Their manager is Seol Ki-Hyeon, the former star of the 2002 World Cup, who played for Anderlecht, Fulham and Wolves. The best player in the group of favorites is Luc Castaignos, former goal scorer at Feyenoord and Twente.
Instead, Jeonnam is a team that plays without pressure and that ended on a positive note last season, in K-League 2. Jeonnam defeated Gwangju and Ansan Greeners 2-1, but we are talking about a team that prefers a slow pace of play. It is, in fact, an element that the two clubs have in common, even if the statistics do not show that.
In the last direct duel, in 2018, the two drew 3-3 in the first league, a match in which Gyeongnam led 2-0, only to be “turned” in 10 minutes, in the second half. But Marcao brought a point for the guests, in the last phase. Each of the previous four direct matches had at least three goals scored, and the “GG” has a super quota on Sunday!
PREDICTION: Gyeongnam to win @ 1,85
