Daejeon Hana Citizen by 1
So, we are looking at the facinating game of Korean football. Now, if we deliberatly evict the memory of the past battles between Daejeon Hana Citizen and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, we'll remember that Daejeon Hana Citizen has had the upper hand. They've been almost like poppy seeds that somehow got into the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors smoothie of triumph - unexpected, slightly disruptive, yet still an integral part of the blend. Clumsy metaphor? Possibly. Accurate? You bet.
Times are amorphous, as we all know. Teams evolve, form fluctuates like the value of Bitcoin, yet some patterns remain as stubborn as that holiday weight we all swore we'd lose three years ago. Jeonbuk's been struggling lately. They seem to have as much consistency as my aunt's cooking, which is to say not at all. All sizzle and no steak - that's their recent record. Daejeon Hana, on the other hand, has been on a tear - they've been as relentless as a puppy with a new squeaky toy during these past few games.
History, recent form, everything seems to be pressing the scales in favor of Daejeon Hana Citizen. Even with the immutable law of football unpredictability in mind, it's hard to not picture Daejeon's blistering attack getting the better of Jeonbuk's leaky defense. Yet, this is the game we love, where nothing's certain until that final whistle.
