National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Daegu or Seongnam that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Daegu form and stats
Last season their Korean Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.Daegu have played 6 K-League Classic games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The Daegu fans got no joy from their last match, a K-League Classic game also here at DGB Arena: A 1-3 defeat against Ulsan. In the game before, an away victory in the K-League Classic match versus Gwangju with a 4-2 scoreline.
Daegu are traveling soon after this match as the K-League Classic match at Sangju Sangmu awaits in three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 6 games), Daegu's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Daegu have conceded 7 goals.
