As the Yukong Elephants of Jeju United prepare for Day 2‘s clash against Gimcheon’s Bulsajo, reflection on the various performances of both sides on the opening day indicates victory for the home side and loss for the visitors.
Shockers ran through lovers of the league who had expected the opening day to have specific outcomes. However, this is football and the thrill is what keeps us all in line at every step.
The last two meetings between the sides both produced a 1-0 scoreline, with Jeju narrowly winning the most recent contest.
My pre-game analysis selects Tae Hyeon Ha (Jeju United) and Dong Gyeong Lee as the favorites from both sides. Whoever gains more pitch influence is more likely to win all points at full-time.

The Yukong Elephants were surprisingly victorious over the visiting star-studded lineup of Seoul FC, the Capital City Boys. The domination began within the first fifteen minutes of the first half, when Jun-Ha gave the parity scoreline an upset, with the team entering halftime with a solitary goal advantage.
The second half indicated such ease, with H. Lee fostering confidence in the fans with an extra goal, shattering the confidence of the overconfident guest who had been sure to equalize in the second half.
Jeju United has a solid home form, with three wins, two stalem, and one loss in the last six games; where they have scored nine games and conceded four goals.

The Bulsajo of Gimcheon ran at a loss in the opening game of the season against Jeonbuk Hyundai, whose poor spell last season made it easy for them to be underestimated.
The game saw Gimcheon score the opener in the fourteenth minute, securing an early lead while the opposition chased vainly into the last literal of halftime, renegotiating with a 1-1 score tip as they walked into halftime unseparated. Hoping to at least get a point at full-time, fatigue crept in, allowing the opposition to capitalize on an opening, which gave them a late advantage toward the end of the game.
The resulting 2-1 scoreline at full-time was unexpected, and while the team tried to save face, the odds for an equalizer slowly swindled toward the end.

Expert Betting Tips
Jeju’s play so far has shown that the team we watched last season is wearing new robes. Thrashing Seoul is a great momentum to begin with, and while we expect the Bulsajo to adjust their seat belts, they may be only fortunate to play the catchup game here.
Also, the tight rivalry between these sides would kick in here, with few goals expected whenever these two sides meet on the field. Jeju’s impressive defensive play against Seoul has to be factored in.
In my opinion, should other things stay equal, Jeju’s net has some impressive insurance. These options are considered valid between the sides.
