Daegu are ready for the overturn

After their two wins in the first rounds (1-3 in Melbourne and 3-2 over Guangzhou at home), Daegu didn't manage to get any points vs Hiroshima as they suffered a 2-0 loss at home and 0-1 on the road. Now they sit on the 3rd place of the table, having 6 points and if they want the second place and the qualification to the next stage of the competition, they have to win tonight but it may also be necessary to not to lose from Guangzhou in China in their last game. In their most recent game of the S. Korean League they registered a 1-0 win over Sangju at home.

Melbourne Victory got their first point over Guangzhou at the 4th round of the group. They played a 1-1 draw with the Chinese team so they won't finish this group without a single point. However, their bad performances combined with their vulnerable defense won't let them hope for something more from this competition. They welcome Melbourne in Hiroshima for their last game of the group. Victory traveled to S. Korea with their reserves, since they have nothing to expect from this tournament anymore. Everyone's thought is on the semifinal game in Australia vs Sydney on Saturday.

Daegu target the win which gives them the chance to fight for a qualification in the last round at China, while Melbourne Victory will perform only for the prestige, with a wide rotation and many young players. Home team to win with a three or more goals difference.
