Daegu haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Gangwon, 113 days ago.

A strong away win for Daegu against Ceres Philippines the last match, as Edgar Silva, T. Nishi, Jeong Chi-In and Lee Keun-Ho were on target.

Pohang Steelers form and stats

Steelers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Seoul proved too strong as Pohang Steelers slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Steelyard Stadium. Defender Min-kwang Jeon was the best team player with a rating of 7.34. Jeon won 11 of 17 duels.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Nagoya Grampus in the AFC Champions League.

A quick return to home after this game, as Steelers are hosting Seongnam in the K-League 1 only three days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Steelers have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. Steelers have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
