Yokohama F. Marinos vs Jeonbuk Motors Prediction

Yokohama F. Marinos are the favorites in the game and will want to secure their second win to put them in pole position to qualify for the knockout rounds.

They will, however, face a stern test against Jeonbuk Motors. The South Koreans have enough quality to get something out of the game and are likely to push Marinos to the limit. However, we are backing Kevin Muscat's side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Yokohama F. Marinos 2-1 Jeonbuk Motors
