The K-League 1 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Daegu and Sangju Sangmu are placed 10th and 4th respectively.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Daegu form and stats
The first K-League 1 game here at DGB Arena resulted in a draw. Last season Daegu's home game statistics were 0 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 3 games.
In their previous game, the manager B. Lee led his Daegu to a defeat in the K-League 1 match away at Jeonbuk Motors. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at DGB Arena. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Pohang Steelers that ended 1-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Daegu have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost one.
Daegu has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Sangju Sangmu form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the K-League 1 ended in defeat. Last season Sangju Sangmu had these away match statistics: Played 2; won 1, drew 0 and lost 1.
195 minutes! That's how long the Sangju goalkeeper Byeong-Geun Hwang and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
The supporters enjoyed Sangju Sangmu's previous game versus Gwangju (placed 12th), a K-League 1 1-0 win played at home. Before that, Sangju secured a home win against Gangwon with the score 2-0.
We have checked recent matches where Sangju have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, four draws and three defeats.
It's early days yet, but Sangju Sangmu has scored 0 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
