Daejeon vs Daegu Prediction
Three points separate the two sides in the standings. A win for Daejon will take them level on points with Daegu, but the hosts have gone six games without a win and have a penchant to play out draws.
Daegu, meanwhile, have also been inconsistent recently, having won just one of their last five away games. However, they will fancy their chances of getting a positive result at Daejon owing to their win at this ground in their last meeting with the hosts in May.
Although either side could nick a win, expect the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Daejeon 1-1 Daegu
