Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Jeonbuk Motors & Jeonnam Dragons face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Korean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Jeonbuk and Jeonnam Dragons.
Jeonbuk Motors form and stats
Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.Overall K-League Classic stats at home this season for Jeonbuk Motors are 4-1-0 (wins-draw-losses).
The spoils were shared in Jeonbuk Motors's previous game, also at home. Visiting Seongnam travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. A K-League Classic defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Sangju Sangmu.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Seongnam last time out, but a goal from Yeon Je-Woon completed a comeback to a draw result for Jeonbuk Motors.
The manager J. Ferreira de Morais will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Incheon United in only four days.
Jeonbuk Motors are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. Jeonbuk have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Jeonnam Dragons form and stats

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Anyang in their previous outing. The K League 2 match ended in a draw 0-0. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Ansan Greeners.
