South African striker Lars Veldwijk helped reigning champions Jeonbuk Motors to secure maximum points in dramatic fashion with a leaping header that beat Busan I’Park’s goalkeeper in injury time during their 2-1 victory. While Brazilian number nine Junior Negao inspired Ulsan to a brilliant second-half performance that saw them turn a 2-0 first-half deficit, into a 3-2 win in the game of the weekend at Suwon Bluewings.
Jeonbuk Motors and Ulsan are expected to go head-to-head for the title this season and are the only teams to pick up two consecutive wins. Now, on to this week’s action and our selections that will hopefully make us some cash.

Gangwon were expected to draw away from home last week but fell to a 2-0 loss at Sangju Sangmu. Central-defender Lim Chai-Min needlessly gave away a penalty that saw them trail and chase most of the match, poor considering their impressive 3-1 win the previous week. Seongnam held on for a goalless draw against Incheon United and will be hoping new-signing Tomislav Kis will be fit to make his first appearance for the club. Gangwon won two of the three meetings last season and Kim Byung-Soo’s team is tipped for the win.Draw 22/10
