KBO League matchup schedule from April 7 to 12, 2026, and win-loss predictions based on current team strength and performance since the start of the season (as of April 7).

⚾ Weekday Triple-Header Predictions (April 7 ~ April 9)
Matchup (Away vs Home) | Prediction | Analysis |
Hanwha Eagles vs SSG Landers | SSG Favored | SSG, currently in 1st place, has an overwhelmingly balanced batting and pitching lineup. While Hanwha is in the upper tier, it will be difficult for them to contain SSG's power hitting in an away game in Incheon. |
KT Wiz vs Lotte Giants | KT Favored | This is a matchup between league-leading KT and last-place Lotte. With Lotte's unstable starting rotation and continued lack of concentration in scoring situations, KT's winning streak is expected. |
Samsung Lions vs KIA Tigers | Samsung Favored | Samsung is performing well with a winning percentage above .500. Meanwhile, KIA is struggling with poor pitching and batting, so Samsung is likely to have the advantage. |
Kiwoom Heroes vs Doosan Bears | Close Match (Doosan Slight Edge) | This is a direct confrontation between lower-tier teams. Doosan recently snapped a losing streak against Hanwha and shown signs of recovery, so they are expected to have a slight edge by leveraging their home advantage. |
LG Twins vs NC Dinos | NC Favored | NC is currently showing strong capabilities with a winning percentage above .700. While LG has underlying strength, considering NC's recent momentum and that this is a home game in Changwon, NC has the advantage. |
⚾ Weekend Triple-Header Predictions (April 10 ~ April 12)
Matchup (Away vs Home) | Prediction | Analysis |
NC Dinos vs Samsung Lions | NC Favored | This is a matchup between top-tier teams, but NC has superior stability in offense and defense. Samsung will put up strong resistance at their Daegu home, but NC's overall strength is rated a notch higher. |
SSG Landers vs LG Twins | SSG Favored | This is a big match taking place in Jamsil. The momentum of SSG, currently in 1st place, is fearsome, and LG's fluctuating fitness of key players could be a variable factor. |
Doosan Bears vs KT Wiz | KT Favored | KT outperforms Doosan in pitching strength. KT, playing a home game in Suwon, is likely to secure victory based on a stable starting rotation. |
Lotte Giants vs Kiwoom Heroes | Even Match | This is a matchup between two teams aiming to escape the lower tier. Given the characteristics of Gocheok Dome Stadium, the team with higher defensive concentration is likely to win, and a fierce battle for ranking positions is expected. |
KIA Tigers vs Hanwha Eagles | Hanwha Favored | Hanwha possesses powerful starting pitchers including Ryu Hyun-jin and Moon Dong-ju. KIA's stagnant batting lineup appears to have difficulty attacking Hanwha's mound. |
