Daejeon take on the visitors Daegu in the round 24 match of K League 1. The match will be played on Saturday, July 22nd at Daejeon World Cup Stadium (Daejeon).
Daejeon continue to fight to secure a spot in the top half of the table, but gradually, they have fallen outside the top 6. The main reason for this is the lack of victories, as the team has not won a match in the championship for six consecutive rounds. Initially, Daejeon experienced a series of draws, sharing points with Gwangju FC, Jeju United, Seoul, Suwon Bluewings, and Jeonbuk Motors. In the last round, the team suffered a defeat away to Incheon United (0-2). The hosts of the upcoming match are clearly not in a state to expect a victory from them.

On the whole, Daegu performance throughout the season has not been much better than that of the hosts, as they are only three points ahead in the table. However, the fact remains that if the opponent has recently forgotten how to win, then the guests very rarely lose. Even after 23 rounds, the team has only suffered six defeats, a number lower than only the top 2 teams in the table. And when Daegu does lose, it is usually to top-tier opponents like the leading Ulsan or Jeonbuk, who dominate at home. However, all those defeats are now in the past, as Daegu have gone unbeaten for four consecutive rounds, securing three draws and one victory (specifically, an away win against Jeju United, 2-1).
Daejeon have achieved only one victory in their last ten championship matches. In the last five home matches in the league, the team has not managed to secure a single win. In general, Daegu are a very resilient team and has remained undefeated for four consecutive rounds, with only two defeats in their last ten matches – both to top-tier opponents. The head-to-head statistics are entirely in favor of the guests. It is true that delving too much into history is not meaningful, but even in the current season, the teams have played against each other twice, and on both occasions, Daegu players came out as winners, defeating the opponent both at home and away with the same scoreline of 1-0. I believe that Daejeon Citizen are unlikely to win this time, and a draw for the hosts at best seems plausible.
Prediction for the match: Daegu not to lose (X2).
