Football Bet of the Day: Dragons won't fire before half-time

Seongnam Ilhwa v Jeonnam Dragons
Wednesday 11:30

More Scandinavian success yesterday as Esbjerg and AGF served up a 2-2 draw in Denmark last night.

Tuesday takes us to Korea for a K League Classic game that doesn't kick off until Wednesday morning UK time.

No need to set an alarm, though. Because our best guess is that the decisive action in Seongnam Ilhwa versus Jeonnam Dragons won't take place until the second half.

Hosts Seongnam - the Magpies to their fans - have been all square at the break in 24/39 home games since Hak-Beom Kim took charge. That trend's only got strong recently, with 11 of the most recent 14 producing a half-time draw.

The visiting Dragons have been level at 45 minutes in more than half of the away games they've played under Sang-Rae Noh (17/31). Again, the trend has strengthened in recent months, with 14 of the last 22 failing to separate them from their opponents before the break.

Both of these records suggest the price on another half-time draw come Wednesday is too big.
