Jeonbuk Motors form and stats

When playing at home in the K-League 1, Jeonbuk Motors have managed 5 wins, 8 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 16 games.

Jeonbuk faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ulsan (1-2). Before that game this club had gone seven consecutive league fixtures without a loss. The defeat against Ulsan was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored ten minutes into stoppage time (by Adam). Midfielder Barrow was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.45 (out of ten) in that game. Barrow scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, a strong away win at Ulsan (after extra-time). A FA Cup game. The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Jeonbuk Motors's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 9 games, won 5 matches, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The Jeonbuk Motors fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches.
