Jeonbuk Motors vs Yokohama F.Marinos Prediction

It will be a clash between the table-toppers of Group H. A win for either team will not only help them progress into the next round but also invite a lower-standard opponent. Both the outfits are veterans of the competition and have already shown their pedigree as two key contenders for the Championship.

Jeonbuk will gain a lot of confidence after breaking their jinx against Yokohama in the earlier round. However, they will have their own share of absentees, which may prove costly against a formidable Yokohama line-up.

A win for the visitors is on the cards.

Prediction: Jeonbuk Motors 1-3 Yokohama F.Marinos
