Recent Form: L-L-W-W-L

Daegu’s Sky Blues are pegged with three losses and two wins in the last five league games, and they are faced with the (mis) fortune of playing their Steeleyard counterparts. The side fell to a beating at Sangju City, losing hope as the Phoenixes of Gimcheon doubled their lead.

They have an impressive record at home, winning two games and losing one against the Kodiaks. The defence of Daegu is spotlighted, with Jin Hyeok Kim tagged as the player to observe with high confidence in his man-to-man plays.

Head Coach Chang Hyun Park’s tactical approach to playing safe has been detrimental recently, and the 4-1-4-1 he plays fails excessively against fast counter-attacking sides.

League Form: W-D-W-D-L

The Steelers have played the last five games with two wins, two stalemates, and one loss, and currently face an opportunity to foster their league ambitions as they play Daegu FC. Their last two visits to the DGB Bank Park proved ineffective on wins, as they shared a point a-piece.

They finished impressively last week against Ulsan, refusing defeat in front of their home fans while short-living the visitors’ ambitions. Away from home, they have relished all destinies, with two wins, two losses, and a stalemate.

 Pohang’s idea of choking the midfield in their 4-2-3-1 lineup is impressive, with Tae Ha Park choosing his battles carefully while minimizing the team’s losses. Lee Ho Jae comes into the spectrum as the player everyone wants to see on the pitch, having proven his worth to the team in recent games.

Pohang has been the better side on Paper, with three wins and two stalemates in the last five clashes between the squads. There have been three BTTS cases and two cases of an O 2.5.
