Jeju United vs FC Seoul Prediction: The Visitors Have A Mountain To Climb

The opening day of the K League Elite class features the Yukong Elephants of Jeju United playing against the Cheetahs of FC Seoul, who were the best goal scorers last season, with the highest registered goal tally. The two sides finished in the relegation division last season, and would strive to attain better results this time. The Elephants have not had a field day against the Cheetahs in a long time, and while posterity would prove its cause, the tendency of a stalemate looks unlikely, given the momentum poised by either side ahead of the season’s opening.

Jeju United

Last season, The Yukong Elephants finished in the third spot of the relegation zone, pitching themselves between the Kodiaks and Daejeon Citizens. With only ten recorded victories in thirty-eight games, the team looks to improve various play aspects, especially defensive concessions.

Although Jeju’s home form previously consisted of three victories, they have not scored impressively, with five goals conceded whereas scoring only four.

FC Seoul

FC Seoul

A few names come into mind as this team launches the new campaign, despite finishing in the relegation zone's best spot. Stanislas Iljutcenko, Jesse Lingard and Yazin Alarab are all tipped to pull off a wonder-full instinct this season. While the hype reminds of the side as third most successful team in the league, their defences need improvement, despite the team registering as one of the most successful attacking sides in the season.

Expert Betting Tips

While a lot remains to be seen in the new campaign, the visitors finished the previously concluded season with better momentum. Also, both sides had a taste of victory against each other in two recent direct pairings. My take is for a slow start between these sides, who score in ⅘ of their league matches. The game momentum should be higher in the second half.
