Daegu form and stats
The complete K-League 1 statistics playing at home this season for Daegu are 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Daegu's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Gwangju (placed 5th). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
A victory at home ahead of that game, as expected. The team were solid favourites against Cheonan City (after extra-time) and won 2-1. This is expected to be a close game, with Daegu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Daegu as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Daegu has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.
The manager Choi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Suwon in only four days.
With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Daegu defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Daejeon Citizen form and stats
Things could have gone better for Daejeon Citizen in their K-League 1 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Daejeon Citizen are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Ulsan (placed 1st).

Lee scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
A home win as predicted against Geoje Citizen preceding that, in the FA Cup. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Daejeon Citizen in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Daejeon Citizen, 4 draws and 6 defeats.
