Daegu take on the visitors Ulsan Hyundai in the round 25 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Saturday, August 5th at DGB Daegu Bank Park (Daegu).
Daegu are a fairly solid team by K-League standards, currently fighting for a spot in the top 6 of the table. Their narrow away defeat to Taejon Citizen was the first loss in their last five league matches. Prior to that, they had three draws and one win. At home, Daegu have been performing very well this season, with only two losses in their 11 home matches. In their last five home games, they secured victories against Suwon FC (3-1) and FC Seoul (1-0), along with draws against Incheon United (2-2), Suwon Bluewings (1-1), and Gwangju FC (0-0).

It is entirely possible that Daegu could take points from the league leader, Ulsan Hyundai, at home. Although Ulsan are the strongest team in South Korea, they have not been particularly impressive in their recent performances or results. Before the league break, Ulsan suffered two defeats in their last three matches: first a home loss to Incheon United (1-2), and then an away loss to Suwon Bluewings (1-3), who were at the bottom of the table at that time. Could the tigers drop points in an away match against Daegu? Yes, of course they could, why not? Their lead over the pursuers is significant, so another slip-up won't be a disaster for the guests.
Of course, considering the league standings, Ulsan are considered favorites by the bookmakers in this match. Additionally, the recent head-to-head results are impressive. However, Ulsan currently has such a substantial lead over their competitors that the tigers could afford to relax a bit and drop points. This is why I'm placing a bet on 1X, expecting that Daegu, who has been almost unbeatable lately in the league, will perform well at home and at least avoid defeat. The team is highly motivated as they are competing for a place in the top 6 and will be looking to put up a strong fight against the league leaders.
Prediction for the match: Daegu not to lose (1X).
