FC Seoul vs Daejeon Hana Prediction: Three Goals Assured Before Fulltime

Seoul Cheetahs moves to strike against the Citizens of Daejeon in this round, resuming the ten-day break recently experienced in the league. The fixture reveals a clash of ambition between a comfortable upper-tiered side and a desperate side looking to cut ties with the bottom.

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

Deploying consistency as the team’s watchword, Seoul has been fortunate to escape loss in their last five league game exploits. Their unbeaten run continues to six games — and a tentative seventh, depending on the outcome of this contest.

Last week against Jeonbuk Hyundai, the side was fortunate to settle for a 0-0 stalemate in a physical game that produced 19 fouls and five yellow cards for both sides.

Jesse Lingard continues to perform below par despite linking up with Stanislas Iljutcenko up front.

Coach Gi Dong Kim’s 4-4-1-1 formation lacks a cutting edge, and it is expected that the attack will sharpen up and improve on last week’s display, where the defenders were better performing.

Flanking defender Yazan Alarab remains our leading man, ruining the opposition's hopes of success through his territorial jurisdiction.

The team is expected to repeat the previous 2-1 result against Daejeon on their home turf.

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

The Citizens bring the thrill of the lower region to the frontlines, bearing taut ties to the bottom of the table even after taking eleven points from the last five league fixtures from which they have seized three wins and two stalemates.

Their recent change in play from conservation to direct attack favored once again against Gwangju in last matchday’s 2-0 victory over Gwangju FC, where they scored in the first minute and seized a late goal in the 80th minute.

Midfielder and Frontman In Kyun Kim is tipped to be exceptional in this game alongside goalie Lee Chang Geun, who was excellent against Gwangju and rightly earned the Man of the Match recognition.

With BTTS and O 2.5 playing in all four recent meetings, Daejeon has taken two direct victories, one stalemate, and a victory for FC Seoul.

The two sides are very intense on the attack; we expect to experience defensive errors from both teams. We also do not see the goalie of the Citizens getting the same award, as he would fail at some questions from the Seoul hosts. As such, we align our thoughts as follows:

• O 2.5 match goals at 2.00 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS at 1.83 odds from Betway.
• A win for the hosts at 1.84 odds from 1xbet.
