Daegu vs Jeju Utd Match Preview

Daegu is ranked at 7th place in the South Korean's League 1 with 19 points and comes after a single win and four draws over the last five matches. While it has been a positive thing that they are unbeaten during this streak, the fact is that they won very few matches. And if they want to hope for a finish in the top six they are definitely going to struggle with this kind of football they are playing.

They have scored 23 goals so far having the second-best offensive side in the league and in the last five games scored a total of 9 goals averaging almost two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel. The problem is they have conceded 22 goals in total which makes them the third worst defensive side in the league. In the last five matches, they conceded a total of 6 goals while failing to keep a clean sheet on four occasions.

Jeju Utd, on the other hand, is ranked at the second spot with 29 points and comes after three wins a draw, and a loss over the last five matches. They are heading towards securing a spot in the Championship group and they aim for something more. They have lost only three matches so far and two of these were against league leaders Ulsan Hyundai and this should be a proof of the good season they are having.

With 20 goals scored they have a decent offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of 7 goals averaging more than a goal per game. But their strongest point has been their defense as with just 13 goals conceded, having the second-best defense in the league. In two of the last five duels they managed to keep a clean sheet and in the other games never conceded more than a goal.

In conclusion, I think Jeju Utd can manage to win or get a draw out of this game. They are in a better form and have shown to have a more solid team both offensively and defensively. Daegu should be happy even if they come out with one point here. Jeju Utd won two of the last five games here while another two ended in a draw with Daegu winning just once at home ground.
