My prediction for a game of the weekend this week takes its focus to the K-League 2, which so far has been more exciting of the leagues that have restarted in South Korea in my opinion.
Suwon look to extend their 3 matches unbeaten run, where the goals keep pouring in
Suwon started the season with a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Daejon Citizen, but since then have gone on a three-match unbeaten run and have been hammering in the goals.
Two away games followed that home defeat, and those two games could have swung the momentum back around to a promotion charge by Suwon. A 2-0 away victory at Ansan Greeners, and then a thumping 5-0 away win against Chungnam Asan saw Suwon pick up two smashing victories, scoring 7 goals in the process and conceding 0.
The third match of their successful run came at home against recently relegated Gyeongnam. This should have proved to be a more difficult challenge, but Suwon also swept them aside, winning the game 3-1.
This puts Suwon FC second in the table on 9 points, after 4 matches, on 3 wins, 1 defeat, 11 goals for and 3 against.
Bucheon is one spot behind them in third with a similar record.
Starting their season with a solid 1-0 away win against Chungnam Asan, that was followed up with a 2-1 home win against FC Anyang, and then they got another away win, winning 2-0 at Ansan Greeners.
Their 3 matches unbeaten run came to an end when they travelled to Jeju to face Jeju United and lost that match 1-0.
Bucheon hasn't been smashing in as many goals as Suwon but they have been playing very controlled football and look to be a very solid outfit this season.
Therefore I have predicted this match as the game of the week, for this weekend's games. 2nd vs 3rd in a shortened K-League season due to the Coronavirus means it could already end up being a crucial match for both sides if they have aspirations of being promoted come to the end of the season.

Bucheon come into this game on the back of losing their unbeaten record
Bucheon have a similar record to Suwon, but it is somewhat reversed in how they came about matching the fellas from Suwon.Starting their season with a solid 1-0 away win against Chungnam Asan, that was followed up with a 2-1 home win against FC Anyang, and then they got another away win, winning 2-0 at Ansan Greeners.
